Based on the analysis of this study, Voice of Baceprot's songs represent women as strong agents defending their freedom and rights, even though women are often being victim of the patriarchal system, women are positioned as an active subject that has power to fight the injustice that they faced. Based on Sara Mills’ theory, the position of the subject and object in the text shows a power relationship, and Voice of Baceprot places women in the position of subjects who control the discourse. In conclusion, Voice of Baceprot is able creating a new discourse about Indonesian women as free, empowered, spiritual, and equal. Through music, they prove it can be a political tool that challenges patriarchal structures and expands the space for women’s voices in popular media. Voice of Baceprot’ demonstrates how the band's music respects the harmony of life and supports feminist ideals. Because this research only focuses on the lyrics, future researchers could shift the focus of analysis to the video clip, or try different research method such as surveying people's views on Voice of Baceprot's songs in conveying gender issues.
