Peran Perempuan Di Dalam Dunia Politik

Abstract

Politics is an activity in a system or State that involves the process of determining the purpose
of the system. Political life in a country especially Indonesia is very complex. The appearance
of women in the political world has been going on from ancient times starting from the days of the
kingdoms in the archipelago.
The equality of women’s rights in various fields of life is an agenda in this day and age. The
achievements and skills shown by women have led to the notion that there are not many differences
between men. His achievements and skills can be seen from the role of women in political life in
our country. Strength in the form of toughness, firmness as well as being a condition for becoming a
leader.
The burden and responsibility of a woman leader is greater than men’s responsibility, where
women play a dual role who also has responsibilities both housewives and other female responsibilities.
Alignment between women and men is an effort that is not in vain if women try according to their
abilities, to be able to compete with men in accordance with their femininity. From this, many women
have barriers to entering the political arena. Starting from a lack of awareness to participate in politics.
To overcome the obstacles that women have in politics and must make efforts to increase women’s
participation in the political arena by providing education from an early age, so that women can
understand. The involvement of women in the political world is still very unbalanced, therefore men’s
policies are lacking in a gender perspective so that decisions often do not favor women, do not pay
attention to women and do not make women more developed.
