EKSISTENSI POLITIK PEREMPUAN ACEH MENJELANG PEMILIHAN UMUM (PEMILU) 2024

Abstract

Islam sees that women are not only domestic creatures (home) who are not allowed  to  enter  and  participate  in  the  public  (political)  sphere.  Men  and women are given the same rights to contribute in all fields whether social, political,   legal,   technological   development,   and   so   on.   Based   on   this background, this study tries to analyze the position of Acehnese women's groups and their existence ahead of the 2024 elections. This research was conducted using a historical approach (Historical Approach). The historical approach was taken in order to trace the history of women's participation in politics in Aceh from time to time by analyzing descriptive, comprehensive, holistic and complete data. The results of this study indicate that: First: The history of women's participation in politics in Aceh is demonstrated by the central  role  of a  number  of female  figures  in formal  politics in  the  region. Historically,  Acehnese  women,  apart  from  having  the  ability  to  lead  and govern, also had significant influence from a political perspective, which succeeded in providing protection and legal certainty to women. Second: The political existence of Acehnese women ahead of the 2024 election is very inclusive. UUPA as legal legality is more progressive because it guarantees gender equality in it, and even explicitly guarantees the protection and equality of women. Even so, there are many gaps in women's ideology that raise their own challenges for Acehnese women's practical political candidates in the upcoming 2024 general elections.
