Abstract

The dynamics of women participation in legislative institution of Bangkalan was significantly degrading. The result of 2014 legislative election in Bangkalan was "zero" which means there were no women winning the votes, the only regency in East Java which does not have any women representatives. Culture, religious interpretation and understanding, pattern of leadership, and structured patriarchy become its cause. These results are not in line with the Law which has regulated 30% quota. This paper aimed to explains the regulation related to women participation in legislative institution and the strategies to improve it in Bangkalan regency. The method of this paper is using socio-legal approach by combining legal research and non-legal research (textual and contextual).
