Abstract

This research is conducted due to Indonesian women’s low participation in parliament and formal politics. The research aims to analyze the historicity of women’s roles in political history in Indonesia and identify the factors causing the inferior political participation of women in Indonesia. This type of research is qualitative with a Content Analysis approach. The research findings depict that gender equality in the world of politics in Indonesia still faces significant challenges. Furthermore, the researcher also found factors that cause gender equality in the political field not to be optimal, namely (1) a patriarchal culture that is still profoundly rooted, (2) Conservative theological principles that are misinterpreted, (3) State hegemony through a series of intellectual products such as legislation and programs that appear to be pro-women but deepen the gap between masculine and feminine. From these findings, the researcher then concluded that gender equality in the political aspect of Indonesia is in opposition to patriarchal culture, conservative theology and state hegemony. Therefore, gender equality in politics must also be confronted with female politicians’ integrity in fighting for more fundamental aspirations regarding women.
