W<strong>omen&#8217;s political participation and leadership (WPPL)<\/strong> show uneven progress, while <strong>violence against women in politics and elections (VAWP\/VAWE)<\/strong> continues to threaten women&#8217;s meaningful participation in political life.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This report presents a comparative study of women&#8217;s political <strong>participation and leadership, as well as violence against women in politics and elections in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Lao PDR.<\/strong> It examines how electoral systems, gender quota policies, political institutions, and various social and cultural barriers affect women&#8217;s representation and leadership in the four countries. It also identifies gaps in data collection, reporting mechanisms, legal protections, and institutions for addressing VAWP\/VAWE.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this context, this report explores the challenges and opportunities for establishing a <strong>Gender Observatory (GO)<\/strong> at the regional level. By mapping and consolidating available gender-disaggregated data, this study seeks to build a more standardized evidence base and indicators for monitoring women&#8217;s political participation and gender-based violence in politics in the ASEAN region. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drawing on international experience, particularly the <strong>Mexican model,<\/strong> the report also identifies policy and institutional lessons that can be considered in developing a Gender Observatory at the ASEAN level. The study&#8217;s findings emphasize the importance of strengthening quota implementation, improving data systems, establishing secure reporting and complaints mechanisms, policy harmonization, and multi-stakeholder collaboration to promote gender equality and protect women&#8217;s political participation in the region. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Report Information<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Author<\/strong><br\/>Hurriyah<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Institution<\/strong><br\/>Center for Political Studies \/ PUSKAPOL UI<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Publication<\/strong><br\/>December 2025<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Download Full Report: <a href=\"https:\/\/puskapol.fisip.ui.ac.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Regional-Comparative-Overview-of-Gender-Observatory_-Comparing-Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand-and-Laos-PDR.pdf\">Here<\/a><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The report can also be viewed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfd.org\/what-we-do\/resources\/asean-gender-observatory-brief-violence-against-women-politics-and-elections\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.wfd.org\/what-we-do\/resources\/asean-gender-observatory-brief-violence-against-women-politics-and-elections\">Westminster Foundation for Democracy<\/a> website<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/puskapol.fisip.ui.ac.id\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Regional-Comparative-Overview-of-Gender-Observatory_-Comparing-Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand-and-Laos-PDR.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"PDF embed\"><\/object><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gender equality in politics remains a pressing challenge in Southeast Asia.
