gender perspective. The design of this study is qualitative research by gathering oral literature data in Raas Island. The data were collected by conducting observation, video recording, tape recording, taking notes and interviewing. The result of the analysis showed that SLPR corresponds to marginalized women which are

rakyat). The women, through SLPR, are portrayed as weak creatures, sex objects and
sluts.
