Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 02
Abstract
Women's participation in politics is an important indicator in realizing an inclusive and equitable democracy. However, to date, women's involvement in politics in Indonesia is still relatively low, one of the causes of which is patriarchal culture, gender bias, and minimal access to political education. This study aims to analyze the role of political education for women in increasing their participation in politics and evaluate the main challenges faced. Using a legal approach, this study also discusses the regulations that have been implemented in Indonesia to support increasing women's involvement in politics, such as Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections and General Election Commission Regulation No. 10 of 2023. The results of the study show that although regulations are available, their implementation still faces various obstacles, including weak support from political parties and low effectiveness of affirmative policies. Therefore, a concrete strategy is needed in the implementation of community-based political education and cooperation between the government, political parties, and civil society organizations to encourage women's active involvement in politics.
