“…In line with other research explaining findings related to the existence of obstacles to women's political participation in Indonesia, including understanding religion (Fattore et al, 2010), the strong patriarchal culture of society (Dzuhayatin, 2020;Prajuli et al, 2021), structural and institutional factors that confront with women's domestic duties (Bayo, 2021;Christoff et al, 2017), even the blurred understanding of all parties regarding gender bias which still often occurs both in government and society (Badruddin et al, 2019), lack of financial support and political support ( Adnan & Amri, 2021), where even political parties only view women's involvement as a formality in fulfilling the women's quota policy (Angin & Purnomo, 2022) as well as the lack of access to information, resources and political education received by women's groups (Yanti et al, n.d.;Yumasdaleni et al, 2022) On the other hand, in several articles it was also found that there are political parties that have not provided sufficient portions for women's involvement (Rofhani & Fuad, 2021;Savirani et al, 2021). Apart from that, it also needs to be acknowledged that there is still a gender gap in knowledge and preferences.…”
