Abstract

Using qualitative research techniques and a case study design, this study attempts to ascertain the extent of women's participation in political party management, the participation of female legislative candidates in elections, and the function of women in legislative bodies. The findings of this study demonstrate that women are underrepresented in politics in Boalemo Regency, Wonosari District. This is due to the fact that political parties have not strategically positioned women, and the low electability and makeup of the female legislative candidates that political parties support have an effect on the number of women in politics. Women's abilities as legislators, budgeters, and supervisors have not been fully utilized in the process of carrying out DPRD duties. The physical presence of women in political, economic, and social institutions is the descriptive aspect of Anne Philips: theory that is quantified by indicator (1). The fact that women are present in this instance indicates that they are part of the organization in compliance with" the quota rules. (2) substantive nature, which refers to the presence of female representatives making every effort to fulfill the needs and desires of the people they represent and (3) personal transforming nature, which refers to the nluenge of such presence on one's own identity.
