Kesetaraan Gender di Bidang Politik Antara Harapan dan Realita

Abstract

Sampai saat ini persoalan kesetaraan gender masih tetap menjadi permasalahan yang belum terpecahkan, meskipun berbagai upaya telah dilakukan oleh pemerintah baik secara nasional maupun internasional. Di Indonesia umumnya dan di Bali khususnya kesenjangan gender yang masih sangat menonjol adalah di bidang politik. Untuk mengatasi persoalan ini pemerintah telah mengeluarkan kebijakan quota 30% keterlibatan perempuan di bidang politik. Selain kebijakan ini, pemerintah Indonesia juga telah mengeluarkan Inpres No.9 Tahun 2000 tentang pengarusutamaan gender (PUG). Kebijakan ini dimaksudkan agar semua program pembangunan mengintegrasikan isu gender di dalamnya. Namun demikian kebijakan affirmative action dan PUG ini sampai saat ini belum tercapai, artinya perempuan yang terlibat sebagai penentu kebijakan di legislative masih sangat minim. Ini artinya antara harapan dan realitas untuk mewujudkan kesetaraan gender di bidang politik masih belum berjalan maksimal.

“…The position of women in various organizations, both social and political, was paid special attention to by Rosbeth Moss Kanter. According to him, the inequality of gender roles (Arjani, 2021, h. 161) in various organizations is caused by women having various limitations, not only because men are naturally perceived as, according to structural functionalist theory (Nugroho, 2021, h. 186), superior, or various other gender stereotypes, but also because women are found to be less skilled than men (Zamroni, 2013, h. 120). Discriminatory treatment of women has occurred for quite a long time.…”
