Women Politics in Türkiye and the Reflection for Indonesia’s Village Governance

Abstrak
Meskipun terdapat kemajuan yang signifikan dalam hak-hak perempuan dalam beberapa dekade terakhir, peran gender tradisional masih tertanam kuat di Indonesia dan Turki, khususnya di daerah pedesaan. Studi ini menyelidiki contoh dunia nyata tentang bagaimana perempuan berkontribusi dalam pengambilan keputusan di Turki. Kerangka teoritis ini mengkaji bagaimana dinamika gender, kebijakan negara, dan gaya kepemimpinan mempengaruhi hasil tata kelola pemerintahan di daerah pedesaan dengan menggabungkan dua teori utama: feminisme partisipatif dan interseksionalitas. Muhtar perempuan pertama, Gül Esin, menjadi terkenal sebagai panutan bagi perempuan di seluruh Turki, yang berdampak jangka panjang pada pemerintahan desa. Perspektif sejarah ini menyoroti meningkatnya pengakuan terhadap perspektif perempuan dalam pemerintahan desa. Temuan-temuan ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya peran partisipasi perempuan dalam proses pengambilan keputusan di desa dan menunjukkan bagaimana kepemimpinan mereka berkontribusi terhadap tata kelola pemerintahan yang lebih inklusif dan efektif. Studi ini juga memberikan rekomendasi kebijakan, mengadvokasi kebijakan sensitif gender dan penilaian titik-temu dalam tata kelola desa, dengan fokus pada komunitas marginal. Hasil penelitian ini memberikan wawasan berharga mengenai langkah-langkah yang dapat diterapkan dalam situasi serupa tentang bagaimana tata kelola di tingkat desa dapat dimaksimalkan untuk meningkatkan pemberdayaan perempuan, khususnya dalam konteks Indonesia.
Kata Kunci
