Abstract

The Law on General Elections in Indonesia was a revolution in legislation. However, after three general elections, the 30% quota that was set for women in the political sphere showed that the quota target was still not met, even in some places it decreased. Applying qualitative research method with a gender approach, the research showed that: 1) Party leaders saw that the enactment of quota for women in political parties was a good policy in an effort to increase women's involvement in the political sphere; 2) Some parties have special efforts to involve women in the political party, although some parties do not have special programs; 3) The effort of party has the effect on the number of women of the party in legislative board.The difficulty in achieving the quota was partly due to: lack of common understanding in the party structure regarding quotas, as well as difficulties in getting female cadres.
