Abstract

This article discusses the Indonesian Government’s strategies and challenges in realizing gender equity and equality. The research method uses a literature review. Data analysis uses the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The research found that the Indonesian Government implemented the strategies of gender mainstreaming and affirmative action to realize gender equity and equality. In addition, the Indonesian Government developed a gender analysis tool called Gender Analysis Pathway in 1998, followed by gender integration in policy documents, starting from the Outline of State Policy for 1999–2004, the National Development Program for 2000–2004, and the National Medium-Term Development Plan 2010–2014 to 2020–2024. Operationally, in 2000, the Indonesian Government issued a Presidential Instruction on Gender Mainstreaming in National Development, a circular letter from four ministers on Accelerating Gender Mainstreaming through Gender Responsive Planning and Budgeting, a Village Law that mandates the internalization of gender in village development, and a draft presidential regulation on accelerating gender mainstreaming. The Indonesian Government’s challenges to realizing gender equity and equality are political commitment, technical capacity, accountability, and organizational culture. Therefore, the Indonesian Government must develop its capacity and culture to produce policy, managerial, human resource, and product innovations supporting gender equity and equality.
