APPLICATION OF POLITICAL RIGHTS OF WOMEN AND REPRESENTATIVENESS IN PARLIAMENT

Political rights and representation of women in the implementation of the political moment in Indonesia is not a little problem that occurred in Indonesia. First Indonesian Women\'s Congress in 1928 was a milestone for Indonesian women in their efforts to expand the role of the public, particularly in politics. In this forum, the women\'s organizations of different ethnic groups, religions and languages united. The emergence and development of these organizations play an important role in improving women, such as improving management skills, broaden your horizons, and develop the network. Organizations and movements increased the bargaining position of women, as demonstrated by the frequency of the leaders of these organizations in various development activities, carried out by communities, governments and other institutions. In the political context, organizations that train and increase the capacity of women\'s self is an effective network for recruiting legislative candidates. Additionally in the period of independence, the people accept and respect women freedom fighters who had a role on the battlefield, in education, in medicine, and in the management of logistics. This opportunity facilitated women to fight for the issues that are relevant to their interests or that is happening around them, in addition to political issues.
