Abstract

Objective: Gender equality is an important issue that the government frequently overlooks. Gender equality does not imply that women must be equal to men, but rather that women have the same rights, responsibilities, and opportunities as men in various fields. The facts show that Indigenous Women, as marginalized people, continue to face various injustices and discrimination in various parts of the world, including Indonesia. This paper attempted to analyze various problems and efforts to achieve gender equality for indigenous women in Indonesia in accordance with the principles agreed upon by Indonesia in the Sustainable Development Goals in 2030.

 

Method: This study is a type of descriptive qualitative research in which various qualitative data obtained from the study literature were examined and then described descriptively in order to reach a conclusion.

 

Result: The results of the study concluded that gender equality, particularly for indigenous women in Indonesia, had not been properly implemented because the division of inheritance, position, and political rights of indigenous women in various regions of Indonesia had not shown justice. Indonesia also still has some unresolved tasks until now, for example, the policy of strengthening international principles to protect indigenous peoples and indigenous women such as the principle of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) and the Ratification of the Bill on Indigenous Peoples which is expected to accommodate indigenous women's rights in Indonesia.

 

Conclusion: Based on the discussion above, it can be concluded that gender equality has not been properly implemented in Indonesia, particularly for indigenous women, because research findings show that the division of inheritance, position and political rights of indigenous women in various regions of Indonesia has not received justice. Indonesia also has several responsibilities that have yet to be completed, such as policies to strengthen international principles to protect indigenous peoples and indigenous women.
