While Southeast Asian women's socioeconomic status and formal political rights have improved significantly in recent decades, women remain underrepresented in the region's political institutions, especially at local levels of governance. Although interest in Southeast Asian women's political representation has increased in recent years, our understanding of women's experiences in their pursuit of elected office remains limited. Through a critical reading of the literature on women and politics and an examination of experiences in Southeast Asia, this article highlights gaps between normative theories and elite-biased empirical studies of women's political advancement and the conditions, processes and outcomes observed across several Southeast Asian countries. Drawing on original ethnographic research in Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, this article identifies three major pathways by which women in Southeast Asia have sought election and re-election to political office. In so doing, the article highlights the significance of understanding women's varied experiences and suggests an agenda for further research.

Abstract-Women's political participation is defined as the actual and equal involvement in the implementation of various government activities, whether through election or appointment. Various studies have shown that the quantity and quality of active involvement of women in public life is essential. The study aimed for increase in women's participation has been correlated with economic growth, cohesion and sustainable conflict resolution. Having said that, the phenomenon in Indonesia shows that women's political participation is still considered low amidst the nation's transition towards democracy era. How this problem can be explained? This study will specifically discuss a variety of phenomena related to women's political participation and its problems and challenges. Instead of using national perspective, this paper will use local perspective in order to gain different information and results.

“…Second, both parties were proud that India and Indonesia had experience led by women leaders. In Indonesia, after lengthy debate regarding the leadership of women since the majority of Indonesian populations are Muslim, then Megawati was becoming the first women president from 2001 to 2004 (Budianta, 2006). Such a condition indicated that the position of women in the public sphere is more respected and having equal opportunity as men.…”
