Abstract
This study aims to explore the role of women in efforts to empower and increase community literacy through waste management. Furthermore, this study will try to compare the roles of women in Purbalingga District (Limbah Pustaka) and in Serang City (Rumah Dunia). This research is important because the problem of waste is an endless problem, where every day almost everyone produces waste, including in Purbalingga Regency and Serang City. On the other hand, the role of women in the movement or community is still small, so that efforts made by the Limbah Pustaka (Purbalingga Regency) and Rumah Dunia (Serang City) are one example where there is a role of women not only in reducing waste, but how become an empowerment activity and increase the literacy of the surrounding community. The methodology of this research is qualitative with a case study approach. Data collection is done by observation, in-depth interviews and documents or archives. The purpose of this comparison itself is to see how the role of women in each community or region (province) in the effort to empower and increase literacy through waste management. This research is expected to produce good models or designs in waste management efforts, and later can be an example or model for other communities in Indonesia
