Abstract

The Reform Era in 1998 has marked a shift in the political conditions of a more democratic government from the previous conditions. One of the instruments and targets of the government's political change is to conduct bureaucratic reforms directed to the principles of accountability, responsiveness, efficiency and effectiveness. A series of changes to the bureaucracy not only focus on improvements adapted to these principles, but also improvements in a more populist bureaucratic culture system to the position of women within the bureaucracy. So far, the bureaucratic condition is heavily populated with patriarchal culture and is male dominance that not only creates a gender-neutral working environment but also the understanding of the rules and processes of policy-making that are sometimes gender biased. The bureaucracy also often becomes the arena of the production and reproduction of gender cultural image which gives more privilage to men's gender, because it is undeniable that hiraerki and organizational practice in bureaucracy is more emphasized masculinity aspect, thus indirectly marginalizing women position in bureaucracy . In an attempt to reduce gender biased inequalities in the bureaucracy, in addition to efforts to reduce the very gender biased rules and promote hirarerki and women's friendly women's practices, it is also necessary to have the right ideas and strategies to increase women's capacity in the bureaucracy, through the idea of "Femocrat Concept". In the idea of "Femocrat Concept", the role and position of women is strongly emphasized on empowerment and improving women's effort in intervening bureaucracy in favor of women's issues, interests and policies
