Abstract

Aceh is a province in Indonesia that makes Islamic sharia as one of the bases in policy determination, one of which is policies related to gender empowerment. It is interesting to be studied about the condition of gender empowerment in Aceh, especially after the ratification of Qanun Aceh No. 6 of 2009 on Women Empowerment and Protection. The study used descriptive qualitative analysis of secondary data obtained from BPS Aceh Province. The results showed that the implementation of Qanun No. 26 of 2009 related to the empowerment and protection of women is still not done to the maximum, either explicitly or implicitly. This is evidenced by the condition of Aceh Gender Empowerment Index which has a volatile trend from 2010 – 2019 with an index ranging from 52.06 to 67.4. The trend is strongly influenced by the three components of GEI, namely women’s involvement in parliament, women’s involvement as professionals, and women’s income donations. The involvement of women in parliament still does not meet the minimum figure of 30%. The involvement of women as professionals has a volatile trend. Meanwhile, women’s income contributions always increase every year.

Summary

Introduction

The term 'gender' comes from the Latin word "genus" meaning birth, family or idea [1]. Gender includes a role in the social development of society that is not determined by gender. Every man and woman must have equal rights in social life. Physical differences make people think that men have a higher level of social life in society, whereas the rights of men and women in social life are the same [2]. At the heart of the various definitions and meanings of gender is the thought that men and women are on the same platform in social life. World-class institutions are attuned to the idea that the role of women is often subjugated by social norms. Many development practitioners still confuse the approach of gender equality with women's empowerment, the gender approach has gained significant place at least at the time of policy formulation
