PENGUATAN KESADARAN POLITIK KAUM REMAJA PEREMPUAN MELALUI KAJIAN REGULASI KUOTA 30% PEREMPUAN DI LEMBAGA LEGISLATIF

Abstract

Abstrak: Persoalan ketimpangan gender tecermin dalam rendahnya keterwakilan perempuan dalam struktur lembaga legislatif, baik di tingkat Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Republik Indonesia (DPR RI), Dewan Perwakilan Daerah (DPD) RI maupun pada level Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah Provinsi (DPRD Provinsi) dan Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah Kabupaten/kota (DPRD Kab/Kota) di seluruh Indonesia. Terpenuhinya kuota 30% perempuan di lembaga legislatif sesuai peraturan hingga saat ini masih jauh. Kendala utama karena budaya patriarki masih dominan sehingga perempuan masih dianggap tidak memiliki kemampuan sejajar dengan kaum laki-laki, regulasi yang belum adil dan masih rendahnya kesadaran perempuan terhadap pentingnya perjuangan mewujudkan kesetaraan gender di area politik praktis. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman, pengetahuan, dan kesadaran kiprah perempuan khususnya para santri Madrasah Muallimat dalam area perpolitikan di Indonesia. Metode pelaksanaan dalam kegiatan meliputi tahap persiapan, tahap pelaksanaan dan tahap evaluasi. Hasil pengabdian ini menunjukkan bahwa berdasar hasil pretest dan posttest diperoleh peningkatan pemahaman materi kesadaran politik kaum perempuan sebesar 22% sehingga mengalami peningkatan yang signifikan. Selain itu, peserta Madrasah Mu’allimat Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta yang semula hanya 60% memahami ilmu dasar kesadaran politik menjadi 82% memahami strategi kesadaran politik bagi kaum remaja perempuan melalui kajian regulasi kuota 30%.
