Abstract

Indonesian women experience social and cultural inequality now. In various corners of the archipelago, many women are blind or structurally blinded to their potential, and thus only play secondary roles in society. The change of policy sees the need that women are increasingly required to enter the public world because their thinking is also needed, while men also need to be sensitive and more intensively involved in domestic activities, because both have the same values. The aims of this research were: (1) to find out the representation of women in the Makassar city parliament and 2) to find out inhibiting factors for the lack of fulfilling the 30% quota for women in the Makassar City parliament, South Sulawesi. This research used descriptive qualitative with purposive sampling techniques for determining informants. There were five women as respondents in parliament who representing commission in their position such as commissions. The results of research were; 1) Women’s representation in the Makassar City of regional people’s representative council (DPRD) based on the results of the 2019 General Election reached 13 people or 26% of the total 50 members of the regional parliament members. This result did not meet the 30% quota mandated by statutory regulations. 2) Various factors were suspected to be the cause of women’s low interest and involvement in politics, including the political party cadre system, women’s interest in getting involved, family support, and the high costs of politics.
