Women play a significant role in promoting religious moderation by educating their family members on the importance of harmony and prioritizing human values in religious practices. Existing literature and research highlight how religious moderation can help reduce intolerance in Indonesian society. This study examines how women in Semarang City apply the principles of religious moderation. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and document analysis. The research focused on members and administrators of Fatayat NU and Muslimat NU, two women’s organizations under Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Indonesia’s largest Islamic organization, which is dedicated to empowering women. The results showed that key values of religious moderation among women include national commitment, non-violence, tempo seniority, tolerance, and a respect for local traditions. These values are embeddedin daily life through habitual practices, reinforcing a culture of moderation and coexistence.
