Analysis of the Quota of Women’s Representation as Candidates for Legislative Institutions in PKPU Number 10 of 2023

The era of reform and democratisation, as well as the implementation of regional autonomy, is an important moment for women, especially in the regions, to actively participate in determining the direction of democracy in the life of the nation and state, but until now, politicians have more often shown interests that are not related to maintaining and implementing the sacred principles of democracy and the aspirations of the people. This situation occurs in the General Election Commission Regulation number 10 of 2023 Article 8 which is deemed not to represent women’s representation. For this reason, this paper discussed women’s representation in PKPU Number 10 of 2023 in the perspective of the theory of legal norms. The research method used was a normative juridical research approach. This approach involved legal research conducted by studying statutory materials and supporting literature to answer the problems being discussed. The result of this research was that PKPU Number 10 of 2023 not only contradicted the provisions of Article 245 of Law No.7 of 2017, but also did not provide certainty for the implementation of the zipper system as stipulated in the provisions of Article 246 (2) of Law No. 7 of 2017. Empirically, women’s representation was still a problem, both in political parties and when they became legislative members.

TRADITIONAL DOWRY IN REPRESSING PAPUAN WOMEN’S POLITICAL REPRESENTATION JAYAPURA CITY LEGISLATIVE 2014-2019

This research investigated the impact of traditional dowry payments on the low political representation of indigenous Papuan women in the Jayapura City legislature from 2014 to 2019. Despite the election of four indigenous Papuan women to the Jayapura City legislature in 2014, there remains a significant gap in representation. This qualitative research gathered data through interviews with 30 respondents, including seven influential community figures, seven husbands of indigenous Papuan women, six Papuan students, two lecturers, three members of political parties, two female Papuan legislators, one representative from the General Election Commission, one member of the Papuan People’s Council, and the head of the Population and Civil Registry Service. Observational data were gathered from the General Election Commission Office and the indigenous Papuan community in Jayapura City. Documentation review further supplemented the research, focusing on legislative representation data, voter turnout, and customary dowry payment records for indigenous Papuan women. The data underwent rigorous re-validation to ensure the analysis accurately reflected the reality of how traditional dowry practices hinder the political participation of indigenous Papuan women in the Jayapura City legislature during the specified period. The findings reveal that the obligation for indigenous Papuan women to adhere to their husbands’ directives, a consequence of dowry payments, significantly limits their ability to engage in political activities, including legislative candidacy and community campaigning. This restriction was exemplified in the 2019 election, where only one indigenous Papuan woman was elected to the Jayapura City legislature.
