female me~bers of local legislative council (DPRD) of Medan City is not
balanced With the number of male members of local legislative council (DPRD)
of Medan City. For the women, their involvement and participation in the public
and public world is an obligation, besides the representation of the women is one
aspect of the human rights. With the support of transparency climate nowadays
the complexity of the relationship between gender and democracy also get the
large number portion of attention by all stakeholders.

From the result of this research is obtained, that generally in planning,
organizing, implementation and monitoring is active enough. However in
struggling the aspiration or the issues about women, the involvement of the
women is very low, except in the implementation and monitoring. The minimum
