GENDER AND CONSTITUTIONAL LAW IN AUSTRALIA AS A CONSIDERATION FOR INDONESIA
Abstract: Women’s inequality seems to be a product of political, legal,
cultural and religious forces. Research has been conducted on the experience of
gender equality of other countries, in this case, Australia. The promotion of
gender equality through the politico-legal process, especially through its
Constitution and legislation, has resulted in significant progress for women in
Australia. This article uses gender analysis. The Australian constitution will be
analyzed in in a gendered way. It is expected that the findings may assist in
improving the constitutional framework for the protection of women’s rights in
Indonesia. Thus, the aim of this paper is to question how Indonesia can learn
from a liberal democratic state to empower women through constitutional
amendments or other politico-legal processes.
