ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis komitmen partai politik dalam meningkatkan keterwakilan perempuan di Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Kota (DPRK) Banda Aceh pada Pemilu Legislatif 2024. Latar belakang penelitian ini didasari oleh fenomena pencalonan caleg perempuan yang seringkali hanya bersifat formalitas untuk memenuhi persyaratan administratif, tanpa disertai upaya serius untuk meningkatkan keterpilihan mereka. Hal ini menimbulkan persepsi negatif masyarakat terhadap partai politik yang dinilai tidak konsisten dalam memperjuangkan kesetaraan gender. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori partai politik oleh Larry Diamond dan Richard Gunther, dan teori keterwakilan perempuan oleh Anne Philips dan Nadezhda Svedova, serta konsep pemilu. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa partai politik di Banda Aceh telah memberikan dukungan kepada caleg perempuan dalam bentuk atribut kampanye, pelatihan pengembangan diri, dan jaringan. Namun, komitmen partai dalam memenuhi kuota 30% masih terbatas pada pemenuhan kewajiban administratif, bukan didasarkan pada kesadaran akan pentingnya representasi perempuan. Kendala seperti kurangnya minat perempuan dalam politik serta persepsi masyarakat yang maskulin terhadap politik menjadi penghambat utama. Selain itu, penempatan nomor urut caleg perempuan yang kurang strategis juga memengaruhi peluang keterpilihan mereka. Implikasi penelitian ini mencakup rekomendasi bagi partai politik untuk mengembangkan strategi yang lebih komprehensif, termasuk dukungan finansial yang lebih besar, penempatan nomor urut yang strategis, dan kampanye intensif untuk mengubah persepsi masyarakat. Penelitian ini juga memberikan kontribusi bagi bidang ilmu politik, kinerja caleg perempuan, dan implementasi kebijakan afirmatif terkait kuota gender di Indonesia.

ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze the commitment of political parties to meet the 30% quota for women's representation in the Banda Aceh City Regional People's Representative Council (DPRK) in the 2024 Legislative Election. The background of this research is based on the phenomenon of nominating female candidates, which often only serves as a formality to meet administrative requirements, without serious efforts to enhance their electability. This creates a negative perception among the public towards political parties, which are considered inconsistent in advocating for gender equality. This research uses the political party theory by Larry Diamond and Richard Gunther, the theory of women's representation by Anne Phillips and Nadezhda Svedova, as well as the concept of elections. This research uses qualitative methods with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observations, and literature studies. The research results show that political parties in Banda Aceh have provided support to female candidates in the form of campaign attributes, self-development training, and networking. However, the party's commitment to meeting the 30% quota is still limited to fulfilling administrative obligations, rather than being based on an awareness of the importance of women's representation. Obstacles such as the lack of interest among women in politics, and the masculine perception of politics in society are the main hindrances. In addition, the placement of female candidates' numbers on the ballot, which is less strategic, also affects their chances of being elected. The implications of this research include recommendations for political parties to develop more comprehensive strategies, including greater financial support, strategic placement of candidate numbers, and intensive campaigns to change public perception. This research also contributes to the field of political science, the performance of female legislative candidates, and the implementation of affirmative policies related to gender quotas in Indonesia.
