Abstract

In general, studies on women's political representation in political parties tend to highlight issues In general, studies on women's political representation in political parties tend to highlight issues such as low quotas, gender bias, or a lack of structural support for female candidates. This perspective often positions women as victims of a masculine and hierarchical system, without sufficiently revealing the internal mechanisms of parties that actually open up space for women's active and strategic participation. This study examines the political candidacy process for women in the PDI-P. The success of PDI-P in Manado City in the 2024 elections, with a 40% quota for women as legislative candidates, has drawn attention to how candidate selection is conducted within the party. This research focuses on two main dimensions: inclusivity and decentralization in candidate selection. Although women's representation in the list of legislative candidates has formally reached or exceeded the 30% quota, few studies have highlighted how this selection process unfolds internally within the party's local structures. The internal institutional configuration of the party allows for the nomination of women not merely as an administrative obligation but as part of political strategy and cadre development. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observations, and analysis of official documents, and then analyzed qualitatively. This finding is important; it shows that real gender inclusion happens not just through quotas, but through internal party practices—especially ideology, local empowerment, and structured cadre development. These are key lessons for how parties can move beyond symbolic representation.

Abstract

This study explores the role of women village heads in promoting inclusive governance by integrating Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) principles into village fund management in the border areas of Talaud Regency. The research is grounded in the urgency to understand how women’s leadership contributes to equitable decision-making and inclusive development at the grassroots level, particularly in geographically isolated and underdeveloped regions. Using a qualitative method with a case study approach, the study collected data through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and documentation involving women village heads, community members, and local government representatives. The findings reveal that women village heads demonstrate strong participatory leadership, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and inclusiveness in managing village funds. They actively ensure that development programs address the needs of marginalized groups, including women, people with disabilities, and people with low incomes. However, the study also identifies challenges such as limited capacity in financial management, cultural barriers, and gender bias that hinder optimal GEDSI implementation. The research underscores that strengthening institutional support and capacity-building initiatives is crucial to sustaining inclusive governance practices. Overall, women’s leadership in Talaud’s border villages plays a pivotal role in fostering equitable development and advancing the GEDSI agenda in local governance.
