This article explores the political construction of Osing tribe women with strong traditions, customs, and beliefs in their daily lives. The community traditions and culture usually closely related to patriarchal values. Analyzing Osing Tribe women; their political interaction, political participation is required so that description of their political construction in society is obtained, and whether there is a gender gap among women of the Osing Tribe in Kemiren Village, Banyuwangi, East Java. Peter Berger's analysis is used to dissect the phenomenon occuring in Osing Tribe women in being politically engaged. This qualitative research was designed with a phenomenological approach with a feminist perspective, examining women in Kemiren Village, the residence of the Osing Tribe community in Banyuwangi Regency. Collecting data using google form is reinforced by interviews using social media; WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook to informants, in order to obtain research data. Secondary data obtained from documentation of informants, online news, and several other sources. The results of the research point out two things; 1) women's construction in Kemiren is on par with men in politics, they have the same right to be elected. Most of Kemiren's women have not been independent in making their political choices, influenced by family members, community leaders. The low level of education is one of the factors besides the notion that harmony in society is more important than politics. 2) Women carry out political interactions, communication, and participation in the social harmony that they want to maintain, in Kemiren Village. The election of women to be the head of the Kemiren village for one period indicates that in the political realm, women not marginalized in the political construction of the Osing Tribe community in Kemiren.
