Abstract

This study aims to see how the Acehnese people accept women as leaders. The presence of women regional heads is still taboo for the people of Aceh. Aceh's strong socio-political conditions with Islamic law and patriarchal culture make women second-class citizens in public affairs. This research is qualitative research in which data is collected through interviews and literature study. Sampling used the snowball sampling technique and was analyzed using interactive data analysis techniques. The findings from this study indicate that the people of Aceh inclusively accept women as leaders influenced by regulations and history. First, from a regulatory point of view, the Acehnese people take women leaders because the replacement of the deputy mayor to the position of mayor and the appointment of acting regents have been regulated in law. This condition requires the community to accept a replacement mayor and the acceptance of an acting regent appointed by the central government. Second, the acceptance of women leaders is a form of nostalgia for the glorious history of Acehnese women in the past.
