Abstract:
Pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) play a crucial role in Islamic education but still face challenges in women’s empowerment, which is essential for sustainable development. The primary obstacles are the gap in access to and quality of education for women in pesantren and a lack of effective communication innovations. This study aims to identify and implement communication innovations that support women’s empowerment in pesantren. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis from pesantren caregivers, teachers, female students, and education experts. Three pesantren with women’s empowerment programs were selected: Darussalamah Pesantren in East Lampung, Istiqomah Al-Amin Pesantren in South Lampung, and Imadul Bilad Putri ‘Aisyiyah Imadul Bilad Pesantren in Metro City. The results show that digital technology, skills training programs, and participatory approaches increase women’s participation. Collaboration with external organizations also accelerates the integration of innovations. In conclusion, communication innovations in pesantren effectively support women’s empowerment and contribute to sustainable development.
