This research is pointed to analyse the impact of women empowerment on economy and politics to female HDI. By using multiple linear regression model and harnessing data of 514 regencies/municipalities, this research reveals that share of women on parliament, women on professional work, and women as entrepreneurs simultaneously affects women HDI in Indonesia. ---------------------------------------------- Angka Gender Development Index (GDI) menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia masih mengalami ketimpangan pembangunan gender. Salah satu penyebabnya karena Indeks Pembangunan Manusia (IPM) perempuan masih jauh dari IPM laki-laki. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi apakah pemberdayaan perempuan dalam bidang ekonomi dan politik dapat meningkatkan IPM perempuan Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan model regresi linier berganda, penelitian terhadap 514 kabupaten/kota menunjukkan bahwa besarnya kontribusi perempuan di parlemen, perempuan sebagai tenaga kerja profesional, dan perempuan sebagai pengusaha secara signifikan meningkatkan IPM perempuan di Indonesia.

The paper acknowledges the role of international, Regional and Local instruments towards the social justices system that embraces women’s participation in politics. Despite the inherent nature of the domesticated gender equality policies, Zimbabwean women still lag behind. The country has failed to reach a critical mass from 1980 to 2018. As a phenomenological study, the research adopted a qualitative paradigm to purposively profile the experiences and achievements of women who broke the ‘glass ceilings’ to participate in the masculinized political domain. The sample constituted of selected members of parliament. Importantly the study focused on women’s political lived experiences. Findings revealed that despite making it to the political realm women were faced with a masculinist culture reinforced by internal political cultures and deep seated structures that denies the acceptance of women as capable political leaders. The paper reflected on the country’s political system of incremental change and concluded that even when women have been mainstreamed into politics; men continue to defend and protect their political status quo. Men have denigrating views about women in politics as a result women find themselves playing right into the hands of patriarchal domination. Recognition and manipulation of women’s capabilities and agency were adapted into the study as normative prescriptions; this study recommended the use of these variables to articulate how, individual and collective women’s visibility in the political realm can be enhanced. The study also touches on the significant value of women’s organizations as platforms for sharing political knowledge amongst candidates as well as potential political actors. The said women’s organizations were found to be valuable for the support base they offer through lobbying, advocacy and awareness campaigns for gender sensitive policies and gender mainstreaming into politics. The importance of organizations therefore links women to their political constituencies. Lastly the study recommends attitude changes as a way of embracing female political participation.

Program-program Pengarusutamaan Gender (PUG) di Jawa Barat sudah dirumuskan dalam seperangkat kebijakan. Sayangnya, program-program PUG hanya berfokus pada peringkat Gender Development Index (GDI) dan Gender Empowerment Measurement (GEM), yang umumnya dilandaskan pada tingkat partisipasi perempuan di ranah publik, tanpa mempertimbangkan faktor-faktor yang menentukan keberhasilan dan kegagalan GDI/GEM. Hambatan utama bagi para perempuan untuk dapat berpartisipasi di ranah publik adalah kegagalan bernegosiasi dengan pasangan/suami dalam pembagian tanggung jawab kerumahtanggaan yang seimbang. Untuk itu, penelitian ditujukan untuk memaparkan pentingnya PUG di ranah domestik dalam pembangunan kesetaraan gender di Jawa Barat melalui verifikasi terhadap faktor keberhasilan dan kegagalan GDI/GEM. Hasil verifikasi dirumuskan menjadi model PUG di ranah domestik, yang memungkinkan perempuan dapat berpartisipasi di ranah publik. Implementasi model tersebut disesuaikan dengan potensi-potensi SDM dan lembaga-lembaga yang ada di Jawa Barat. Penelitian dilakukan melalui organik feminist inquiry, di mana identifikasi masalah merupakan kesepakatan antara peneliti dan kolaborator penelitian. Oleh karena itu, penelitian diharapkan menghasilkan kontribusi yang tepat sasaran dan benar-benar dibutuhkan oleh masyarakat. Kebutuhan akan PUG di ranah domestik memang perlu tidak hanya untuk diprogramkan, tetapi juga untuk difasilitasi oleh pemerintah Jawa Barat agar aksesibel bagi masyarakat. Untuk menjalankan program dan fasilitas tersebut, pemerintah Jawa Barat dapat melibatkan potensial-potensial, yaitu kader-kader yang memiliki komitmen untuk PUG, seperti kader serikat buruh dan kader Posyandu. Kata kunci: PUG, domestik, kesetaraan gender

Gender justice is a process ensuring the fair treatment of women and men alike and removing role-making, double burden, subordination, marginalization, and violence against women by men. Indonesia’s gender-based human development is characterized by the absence of discrimination between women and men in gaining access, opportunity to participate, and control over development and obtaining equal and equitable benefits from Development. Gender-based development in societal and state life is being pioneered with government programs implementing gender-responsive policies. Keywords: human development, gender, equivalent, fair

This article will explain the political wing of the NasDem women's party namely Garnita Malahayati in Yogyakarta in the 2014 electoral contestation. Various affirmative action policies initiated by the government have not been able to be utilized properly by political parties either in the process of institutionalizing parties to create quality female politicians. Excess, political parties often have difficulty in building awareness of gender mainstreaming and gender-based political education. In fact, the women's political wing of the party has been designed to function to attract women's political participation. The reality is that political parties only make the political wing of women's parties a complement and symbol of politics. This study uses explanatory qualitative methods with data collection techniques by collecting data and related documents and through in-depth interviews. This article argues that there is a dysfunction in women's political wings, because Garnita Malahayati as a political wing of women has not been well institutionalized. The article also believes that the political wing of the party women has not played an active role in the process of candidacy, especially in encouraging the process of regenerating qualified female politiciansArtikel ini akan menjelaskan sayap politik perempuan partai NasDem yakni Garnita Malahayati Yogyakarta dalam kontestasi elektoral 2014. Berbagai kebijakan affirmative action yang digulirkan oleh pemerintah belum mampu dimanfaatkan dengan baik oleh partai politik baik dalam proses pelembagaan partai untuk menciptakan politisi perempuan yang berkualitas. Eksesnya, partai politik seringkali mengalami kesulitan dalam membangun kesadaran pengarusutamaan gender dan pendidikan politik yang berbasis gender. Padahal, sayap politik perempuan partai telah didesain untuk berfungsi menarik partisipasi politik kaum perempuan. Realitasnya partai politik hanya menjadikan sayap politik perempuan partai sebagai pelengkap dan simbolisasi politik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif eksplanatoris dengan teknik pengumpulan data dengan mengumpulkan data-data dan dokumen yang terkait serta melalui wawancara mendalam (in-depth interview). Artikel ini berpendapat bahwa tengah terjadi disfungsi sayap politik perempuan, dikarenakan Garnita Malahayati sebagai sayap politik perempuan belum terlembagakan dengan baik. Artikel ini juga berpendapat bahwa sayap politik perempuan partai belum berperan aktif dalam proses kandidasi terutama mendorong proses kaderisasi politisi perempuan yang berkualitas.

SummaryBody mass index (BMI) is the ‘measuring rod’ of nutritional status. This study investigates the type and extent of correlation between adult male BMI and socioeconomic, cultural and bio-demographical variables using data from 11,496 individuals from 38 districts of Central India. For each individual, stature, body weight and sitting height data were collected, their Cormic index and BMI computed, and averages for each district calculated. Mean BMI was found to be lowest for the population of Tikamgarh (17·90±1·91 kg m−2) and highest for that of Durg district (19·33±2·16 kg m−2), whereas the mean BMI for the total population of Central India was 18·67±2·18 kg m−2, which is lower than that of well-to-do individuals in India as a whole. The F ratio indicates that there is inter-district variation in anthropometric characteristics of populations. District-wise biosocial indicators were obtained, namely population density per square kilometre, percentage urban population, percentage of population that is of scheduled caste/tribe, sex ratio, average rural population per PHC/CHC (primary or community health centre), literacy rate, life expectancy, total fertility rate, infant mortality rate, gender development index and human development index. Most of these variables were found to be significantly correlated with each other, but BMI was only significantly correlated with three of them, viz. gender development index (R2=0·211), life expectancy (R2=0·130) and infant mortality rate (R2=0·128). Gender development index and life expectancy were positively correlated with BMI, whereas infant mortality rate was negatively correlated. It is concluded that if BMI increases then life expectancy will also increase. Thus better nutritional status may be a helpful tool for reducing infant mortality rate, which is an indicator of socioeconomic status, health condition, health care and ultimately overall development of a region or population.

Traditional metrics of gender development have failed to capture social dynamics that hinder gender equality, the inadequacies in reproductive health. As a policy instrument, traditional indices are inadequate for state governments to tackle regional issues in gender justice. This paper develops an index which can be used by states to determine particular areas of intervention and to track their progress.Methodology: The study develops an index based on six pillars. Under each pillar, the states are scored on a set of variables based on the quartiles of their scores. This scoring is scaled and the geometric mean of the score on each pillar is used as final index.The study then clusters the states based on their index scores and uses dimensionality reduction using Principal Component Analysis to arrive at dimensions for intervention.Result: Index scores indicates that the states perform well on some while fail on other dimensions challenging traditional notions and stereotypes of states being labelled as “sexist” or “feminist”. The study highlights: “Position of Women in Society”, “Access to Reproductive and Child Health” and “Economic Empowerment” as key dimensions of intervention for states and based on their scores, recommends policy action for each dimension.Highlightsm mThe study develops an index based on six broad pillars: Social, Capacity, Reproductive Care and Health, Health, Nutrition and Economic.mPosition of women in Society, access to reproductive and child healthcare service and economic rights are the major parameters which determine the gender index.mAs per GDI (Gender Development Index) scores, South and North-Eastern states have been the achievers whereas the Eastern and Central states which constitutes the BIMARU group have been aspirants in the GDI scores.
