This research employs a qualitative method with an empirical legal approach, using both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through structured interviews with respondents and informants.The findings indicate that there is currently no protection for traditional medicinal knowledge as communal intellectual property (CIP) in Aceh, as it has not yet been documented or recorded. The Acehnese community preserves traditional medicinal knowledge orally, passing it down to the next generation within their families particularly among women who manage herbal recipes making this knowledge highly vulnerable to loss and difficult to protect from biopiracy. Women hold a strategic role as managers, inheritors, and innovators in the development of traditional medicinal knowledge, whether through family healing practices, customary rituals, or community-based treatments.}, issn = {2580-8508}, pages = {1--28} doi = {10.14710/lr.v22i2.63289}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/lawreform/article/view/63289} }
