The Culture Of Paternalism, The Role Of Women In Kek, And Women Politics In The Time Of The Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The turmoil of political reform provided significant
opportunities for women in Indonesia compared to the
previous condition where their political rights were still very
limited. Movements emerged in the form of efforts to
empower women's rights, especially destructive political
rights. Although this reform era could not eliminate apathy
and the inability of women to be included in the hegemonic
and repressive political system for decades, on the other hand,
the role of women in maintaining family economic resilience
is quite strategic, because the role of women in community
development both in urban and rural areas shall continue to be
improved in the results implementation of its development,
quality development of human resources, and maintenance of
the environment. The theory used in this research is related to
the Paternalistic Culture, the Role of Women in KEK, and
Politics. This research explains that indicators of development
in the political field have progressed in their achievements in
such way that women may fall behind in gaining egalitarian
opportunities with men. Legislation shall be utilized in the
creation of women’s participation in political parties and the
House of Representatives (DPR) to accommodate the
formulation of robust democratic political culture based on the
perspective of equality between men and women
