ABSTRACT
This paper explains the concept of gender-based justice in the Arfak Sougb Indigenous Community in Teluk Bintuni Regency, West Papua. This legal research aims to serve as recorded customary law and as a reference for customary law which contains local wisdom values that are believed to be true and adhered to by the Arfak Sougb Tribe so that they are not lost to time. This research is not intended to make customary law a written law, in the sense that it is given a certain legal form according to statutory regulations. This type of research is empirical legal research. The concept of gender-based justice is outlined in the form of equality in customary meetings, utilization of customary rights (cinogog), measurement of the maturity of boys (giji) and girls (gita/godeh) which are not based on a certain age limit, but are characterized by characteristics of biological development. The woman or lady (aktop) chosen as a potential wife/daughter-in-law has a diligent character, not from beauty or physical appearance. Boys (giji) and girls (gita/godeh) are considered equally important. Girls (gita/godeh) will bring wealth in the form of a dowry (aromoub) when they marry (ouhwbo), while boys (giji) will continue their lineage, as successors to the clan.
