This study highlights the issue of low representation of women in the legislative bodies of West Sumatra, which poses significant challenges to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 5 (Gender Equality). The aim of this research is to explore the representation of women in legislative institutions as part of efforts to promote gender equality, with a focus on the strategies and policy directions implemented by the West Sumatra Provincial Government. This academic paper employs a qualitative descriptive approach, drawing on literature studies from relevant articles, books, and scholarly journals. The findings from the literature review indicate that the representation of women in the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) at the district and city level in West Sumatra remains limited, with Bukittinggi is the only city that achieves the 30% threshold for female representation. In contrast, three other districts—Mentawai Islands, Padang Pariaman, and South Solok—do not have any female legislative members. Several challenges contribute to this issue, including a patriarchal political culture, limited financial resources, and gender stereotypes within Minangkabau culture. In response, the government has adopted strategies such as gender mainstreaming, affirmative action, political party communication, and collaboration with women's organisations, to challenge societal stereotypes and enhance the representation of women in legislative bodies. The findings suggest that, although these measures have prompted gradual improvements, sustained progress towards gender equality will depend on strengthening the enforcement of laws, expanding financial support mechanisms, and fostering deep cultural changes to enhance the influence of women in the legislative arena.
