“…There are still negative stereotypes in viewing gender quotas on women's political ability (Radojevic, 2023). This condition, when viewed in the context of women's representation in election supervisory institutions, still experiences various obstacles, these obstacles such as the still existing views on gender bias, the still thick patriarchal culture, the lack of potential women who participate in the selection lack or do not have political networks with stakeholders who can pass or not women and the risk of becoming election supervisors that affect women's interest in participating in the process Selection to be an Election Supervisor (Muharam et al, 2023;Muharam & Prasetyo, 2021). This statement is also supported by Neschen and Hügelschäfer (2021).…”

This study analyses the application of women's representation as election supervisors and election supervisors who are part of election organizers other than the General Elections Commission. The Election Supervisory Board (Bawaslu) is an election organizer with the authority and responsibility to oversee the process of election stages and election participants. This study uses a qualitative approach by using secondary data from the Bawaslu Decree of the Republic of Indonesia and primary data from the regulation of Law No. 7 of 2017 concerning general elections, journals, internet and social media from Bawaslu agencies, both from Bawaslu RI, Province, and Bawaslu Regency/City. Then, conclude using descriptive analysis techniques. The results of this study show that the implementation of women's representation in the election supervisory institution, namely Bawaslu, does not meet the women's representation requirement of 30%. Even in some districts/cities, women are not represented as election supervisors. Article 92 Paragraph 11, as a legal basis regarding women's representation in Bawaslu, is not fully implemented. Regulations are not only used as an obligation abort as a condition for women's entry into politics that have been given places and rules. In addition, implementation and supervision in the field are needed. There needs to be integrity and transparency from the selected selection team with no political content that benefits one candidate. However, due diligence and appropriateness are in the realm of Bawaslu of the Republic of Indonesia.

Purpose Employability skills have transformed from the acquisition of university degrees to possessions of cognate skills other than only degrees that can help employees secure employment in contemporary work environments. This study evaluates essential skills that will prepare millennia of youths and graduates for employment in the present job market. The study investigated four major hypotheses to underscore the employability opportunities of graduates in challenging 21st-century work environments.Design/methodology/approach To clearly gain an understanding of women’s disparity in society, the study employed a qualitative approach to evaluate the incidence of gender prejudice in a men’s dominant world. The study utilised two distinguished sampling strategies, purposive and snowballing sampling techniques, which were deemed suitable and useful due to the nature of the study. The study recruited 42 participants by conducting semi-structured interview sessions for the study. The study employed a deductive approach to analyse the data obtained from participants. A thematic content analysis was used to take away prejudice and establish an overarching impression of the interviewed data. Atlas.ti was used to analyse the transcribed interview data from the participants to establish common themes from the surveyed informants.Findings The results of this investigation indicated that there is a deep-rooted trend of institutionalised men’s dominance in politics and religious leadership. Women perceived less representation and men dominated the two domains of existence in their local environment. The study established that women are optimistic about a turnaround narrative on gender equality in politics and religious leadership. They expressed their concern about strengthened public debate and campaigns on women’s representation, and against gender discrimination. The study further shows that women are influencing the ethical and moral sense for change against women’s neglect in society. They expressed their concerns against the selection of people into political offices for elected political posts and observed the peculiarity of political godfathers fixing their favourite men into those offices.Originality/value The study discovered that women are leading campaigns for their representation in politics as well as church leadership today. The novelty of this study bothering around two domains of women’s lives – politics and religion, in particular, church leadership. These have not been evidence before in a study.

Election supervisors are part of the election organizers in Indonesia, regulated by Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning general elections. The regulation on women’s representation in the Election Supervisory Board (Bawaslu) is contained in Article 92, paragraph 11, as much as 30% of women’s representation. This research uses a qualitative approach using archival studies on various elections and affirmative regulations. The findings in this study are the results of women’s quotas spread across 514 regencies/cities. Male representatives numbered 1633 (85%) and women 274 (14%) out of 1907 commissioner seats contested. This study opens further discussion for the Indonesian government to amend the election law regarding women’s representation in Bawaslu, as a regulatory sanction is required if the quota is not fulfilled.
