Abstract

Gender as a social construction that distinguishes functions, roles and responsibilities differently in men and women, when juxtaposed with women’s citizenship rights as one of the subjects in the context of state life, will face a contradiction because gender roles limit and position men and women are unequal. Fulfillment of women’s citizenship rights will bring about justice and gender equality. The condition is strived to be realized through various legislation instruments that provide protection and equal rights between men and women both at international and national levels. However, gender roles that position women unequally with men are both challenges and obstacles in the implementation of women’s citizenship rights. In this article, the author analyzes gender in concepts and practices as well as its relation to the fulfillment of women’s citizenship rights. How is gender related to women’s citizenship rights? Do women’s citizenship rights guarantee gender equality? How is about women’s citizenship rights from a juridical perspective in the Indonesian context?
