Abstract

This paper explains the use of education issues by female candidates during the 2019 legislative election campaign in the Batu City DPRD, East Java. Through in-depth interviews and observations of campaigns carried out by female candidates, it was discovered that many female candidates running for regional legislative members raised education issues, used more female success teams, and were more comfortable campaigning with women's groups. From the research results, it is known that the use of education issues for female candidates at the local level cannot increase their chances of being elected in legislative elections. However, the author argues that the use of education issues in non-Western countries is because female candidates still feel inferior or not equal to men, so the use of education issues by female candidates is a strategy to enter parliament without solving the problems of patriarchal culture that exist in the non-Western countries. This strategy was taken because of the consideration of the values and norms that develop in a society that perpetuates a patriarchal culture
