Above fact was undeniable, that gender sensitivity among politicians in Banyuasin still felt weak. This tercemin of the campaign themes that have made the present legislative candidates elected, politicians both men and women. In fact, the policy will be made Banyuasin Parliament, particularly those concerning the budget should have a breath of gender responsive.
In addition, policies relating to the legislation should also be criticized in the context of gender pengarustamaan nation as a commitment to Indonesia as stated in Presidential Instruction No.. 9 in 2000.
It is clear that legislators Banyuasin both men and women who do not have a gender sensitivity course will have difficulty in controlling the budget policies that may ignore the needs of women and children, especially in the field of education and health. For example, if the education and health budgets more spent to pay salaries and fees rather than empowerment or things related to child health or reproductive tools of women, it can be said of the policy is not gender responsive.
Moreover if the mortality rate high maternal and child malnutrition rates to swell, so we can ensure there are irregularities in formulating policy.
Even more sad again, when in the local government apparatus Banyuasin District has no gender sensitivity, was certainly the policies issued would be contrary to the rights of women and children's rights which is part of human rights. On the other hand Banyuasin if legislators do not have gender sensitivity it will give birth outside the mainstream hegemonic discourse of gender pengarustamaan.
Which in turn would threaten the democratic process. For, democracy is only possible if the respect the rights of women and child rights. Because, without respecting the rights of women and children's rights, there is no democracy. Democracy is essentially respect for human rights.
Thus, we may infer that when the district issued a specific policy and ignores women's rights and the rights of the child's district government policy can be said to violate human rights. Because the rights of women and children are part of human rights.
As for what is meant by human rights itself is a set of rights attached to nature and human existence as a creature of God the Almighty and His grace is that must be respected, upheld and protected by state law, government, and everyone for the honor and protection of human dignity and status.
If true then the statement above symptoms is the existence of gender inequality and gender inequalities in the District Banyuasin. In this regard, community participation is needed to encourage the growing awareness that regional development must be in pengarustamaan gender. Because, Inpres No.9 of 2000 requires that development policies should be put pengarustamaan gender (gender mainstreaming).
That community participation can be a control policies Banyuasin Parliament (legislative) and the District government policies Banyuasin (executive). Similarly, policies regarding legal (judicial), should be criticized if the laws of our society is masculine or have gender sensitivity, including whether the enforcement agencies do not have a gender perspective in dealing with such cases of sexual violence.
Thus when a strong public participation in policy to control parliament and the government Banyuasin districts that ignore gender pengarustamaan, the political elite itself Banyuasin will make corrections themselves. Because, they will realize that the people who will deliver them to the seat of power.
However, when they ignore the control of the people, then in the legislative election or the next election the people will punish him by not selecting those who ignore the rights of women and child rights. Similarly, if the criticisms made by the community, including the control exercised by the press, ignored by members of parliament and local governments will bear protest movements. This protest movement if the left and synergize with the political forces or elements in the movement of local level, it will bear a political movement which of course will interfere with the power of political elites. This is very aware of the political elite. Therefore, political elites at the local level will make the appropriate changes in policy with the aspirations of the people. Because, if contrary to the aspirations of the people so that the political elite will have the stigma from the community as a leader who does not have gender sensitivity or populist leaders who are not.
Then, the question is how to achieve gender equality and gender justice in the District Banyuasin? Of course, required certain strategies, namely: (1) need for institutional reform to ensure equal rights and opportunities for women and men; (2) need for efforts to promote economic growth increases the resources equality and participation, and (3 ) should take active steps to overcome inequality in the control of resources and practical political aspirations.
In addition to the above strategy, would need to also do empowerment strategies. In this case, education and training, especially regarding gender pengarustamaan in development and gender responsive budget, both for women politicians and men politicians and district government officials. If the empowerment strategy is implemented we can expect of the political elite in Banyuasin can understand and accommodate the needs of women and children in the budget, including development policies in the District Banyuasin. Which, in turn, gender equality and gender justice can be realized in the region "Sedulang Setudung". Will manifest itself also democracy which respect the rights of women and child rights.
