This research aims to analyze women's empowerment strategies to improve the quality of female journalists within the DKI Jakarta Indonesian Journalists Association (PWI). Even though the role of women in journalism has increased, significant challenges are still faced in efforts to improve the quality and competence of female journalists. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, which involves in-depth interviews with female journalists, Head of PWI DKI Jakarta, and women's empowerment experts and document analysis related to existing training and development programs. The research results show that empowering women through technical training programs, seminars, and mentoring has proven effective in improving the journalistic skills of female journalists. In addition, support from PWI DKI Jakarta in the form of professional networks, publication opportunities, and access to information resources greatly contributes to the career development of female journalists. However, gender stereotypes and lack of representation in managerial positions remain significant obstacles. The research recommends developing empowerment programs that are more focused on specific aspects such as leadership and media management and expanding the range of support to overcome existing obstacles. With a more comprehensive approach, it is hoped that the quality of female journalists can continue to be improved so that their contribution to the world of journalism can be maximized and positively impact society.

This research aims to analyze the implementation and effectiveness of the women's quota in the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) of DKI Jakarta Province during the 2014-2024 period. The women's quota is an affirmative policy designed to increase women's representation in the legislature, regulated by Indonesia's electoral law. Although this policy has been implemented, there are still various challenges that hinder women's participation in politics, including cultural, social, and structural barriers. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with Deputy Chairman of DPRD , Legislative Candidate, Academics , Sociologist and Law/ Political observers, as well as analysis of official documents and related reports. The results show that despite an increase in the number of women in the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD ) of DKI Jakarta Province , the women's quota has not fully achieved its goals. Some of the factors that affect the effectiveness of this quota include the lack of support from political parties, strong gender stereotypes, and obstacles in the recruitment and selection process of female candidates. This research also found that the existence of women's quotas alone is not enough to increase women's participation in politics. Further efforts are needed, including political education for women, capacity building for female legislator candidates, and reforms in the political party system to support greater involvement of women. In conclusion, the women's quota in the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) of DKI Jakarta Province still faces various challenges in its implementation, and additional strategies are needed to overcome these obstacles in order to achieve more equitable and inclusive representation.

Gender equality education has emerged as a key focus in raising knowledge of children’s rights from a young age. This article describes how the Center for Child Protection and Studies (PKPA) uses community, parent, and child involvement in educational programs to promote gender equality. The primary goal, particularly in Indonesia, is to establish a welcoming, equitable, and gender-neutral atmosphere. By using a participative, local wisdom-based approach, this program was able to change community perceptions, overcome gender stereotypes, and raise children’s understanding of their rights. In addition to raising awareness of gender equality issues among the younger generation, this outreach hopes to spark larger social change. With the cooperation of many stakeholders, the PKPA program has developed into a viable model for building an inclusive and equitable society.
