FEMINIST THEOLOGY LINGUISTICS IN THE PRACTICAL INVOLVEMENT OF POLITICS AND THE LEADERSHIP STYLE OF CHRISTIAN WOMEN

Abstract

Problem of women in leadership and politics, both in government and in the church, is that women are always looked down upon. Gender equality in political life is one of the elements that must be considered when consolidating Indonesian democracy. Gender inequality is still clearly visible in Indonesia's post-election political structure. This can be seen from the fact that the number of female parliamentarians is not ideal, showing that Christian women are involved in practical politics in an effort to get equal opportunities in politics, as well as the inhibiting factors so that women's leadership styles can be contributed to practical politics. This issue will be reviewed from a feminist perspective, with the aim of providing awareness so that more Christian women are involved in practical politics to fight for the fate of women from various sources, books and journal articles that are relevant to the topic discussed. The findings obtained are that the government and several churches have accepted that women receive equal rights and treatment so that the status of women and men are equal and can both contribute to the government and several churches to create a just Indonesian state and ensure the prosperity of the city. Finally, it can be concluded that women have been recognized as equal to men in various matters including government leadership, social community leadership and leadership in the church and are legal in the eyes of Indonesian law in the 1945 Constitution.
