The issue of women’s representation becomes very important because many policies are considered not in favor of women such as the Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence should be end here Despite the inability to reach the targeted quota, there has been an increased in women's participation this year. Special attention is needed to the problem of women’s representation in politics. Khofifah Indar Parawansa in his writings on obstacles to women’s political participation in Indonesia explains how culture, the selection process of political parties, the media, organizational networks that influence women’s representation in politics.

Political parties also play a very important role in recruiting qualified female cadres so that later they can make a big difference to women’s issues.The purpose of the research is to provide input and recommendations for members of the Indonesian Parliament, particularly the related complementary organs, especially Commission VIII and also Commission IX on important issues faced by women such as health and employment.
