Abstract
Covid-19 pandemic has caused various detrimental problems and complexities for Indonesian women, including termination of employment (PHK), economic pressure, and domestic violence. This study aims to analyze the role of Muslimat NU (one of the most prominent Indonesian women's organizations) in building economic resilience in Pati Regency, Central Java, especially during coronavirus outbreaks. This study uses qualitative-descriptive approach to delve into the role of “Annisa Cooperative” in empowering and developing its members. The result of this study suggested that the strength of the cooperative lies in the management, management services, and encouragement of the members. This research has proven that “Annisa Cooperative” as an organization within the Muslimat NU environment that facilitates capital assistance, increasing production, and encouraging distribution or marketing has played a significant role in building economic resilience. This essay can be an important reference in Islamic studies, economics, and gender equality issues.
