Daftar Isi:
  • The legislative general election of 2009 still holds a case particularly the one related to centyral and local female legislative representation. The result of the general election showed that the number of the member of DPR (the House of Representatives), DPRD Provinsi (Provincial House of Representatives), and DPRD Kabupaten/Kota (Regional House of REpresentatives) had not reached the quota of 30% female re[presentatives as mandated in Law Number 10 Year 2008 regarding legislative election. This case was due to the inconsistency of the legal basis in implementing the election. The Supreme Court decision No. 22-24/PUU-VI/2008 regarding the judicial review of Law Number 10 Year 2008 regarding Elections of DPR,DPRD I, DPRD II and DPD (The Regional Representative Coucil) canceled the Article 214, causing the electoral calculation of 2009 to use votes instead of serial numbers to decide the ones to hold the council seats. This is against the substance of articles in the Law Number 2 Year 2008 and Law Number 10 Year 2008, which mention special treatments for women. This is the definition of gender injustice in this Supreme Court decision.
