Abstract
Abstract--Indonesian women face structural and cultural barriers to running for the legislator. Although a quota reserves a minimum of 30 percent of parliamentary seats for women, political-party culture tends to exclude women. Introduced via legislation (Law No. 12/2003), the legal candidate quota stipulated that: Each participating political party may nominate candidates for the Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat (National House of Representatives), Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah (Regional House of Representatives), and Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah Provinsi, Kabupaten dan Kota (People’s Representative Council Provincial and District/City level), for each electoral district, giving consideration to representation of women of at least 30 percent. The results were disappointing for those hoping for a quick bounce in the number of women elected to parliament. Once elected, women legislators need support, training, and advice in navigating the institution of parliament. Training should be provided in the core responsibilities of legislators: constituent relations, legislative duties, and executive oversight, including consideration of national budgets. Capacity building for women legislators will be held in three steps, first, identify women legislators background such as education, political experiences, family background and motivation, second design capacity building that needy women, and the last implementing model of capacity building. This paper will cover the first step by identifying women legislators such as education, age, and experiences in the legislator election process, involvement in political parties, and activities in interest groups.
