Abstract

The role of women in the legislature is still widely questioned regarding their participation in various aspects of development. This research aims to reveal what women do in implementing their programs as legislative members; what are the reasons of women carry out the programs; and what are the impact of their actions. Applying qualitative research methods with a gender perspective, it was found that in addition to carrying out their functions as members of the legislature with the functions of legislation, budgeting and oversight, women legislators also carry out community programs by participating in the implementation of programs carried out by local agencies during recess. They decided to take part in working on the program because they needed access to the community and the need to develop community activities. Their participation in development programs makes them have access to constituencies that will give them their acceptability in society. Beside that they negotiated to men in legislature in order to their purpose about gender equality is able to be manifested in various ways.
