Women’s political participation has become an important issue in the context of democracy and human rights. Elections are one of the main arenas where women’s representation can be measured. Women’s involvement in elections not only promotes inclusive democracy but also recognizes the equal human rights of all individuals. This study examines the role of women’s representation in elections as a driver of democracy and respect for human rights. The qualitative and descriptive literature analysis will take empirical data from KPU data in Indonesia. This research illustrates that women’s representation in political institutions creates a broader perspective, reflects the diversity of society, and strengthens the legitimacy of democratic institutions. However, challenges remain in realizing significant women’s representation. Structural discrimination, gender stereotypes, and institutional barriers are some of the factors that hinder women’s political participation. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed to overcome these barriers and ensure women’s fair and equitable election representation. This research also highlights the importance of raising awareness of the significance of women’s representation in promoting an inclusive democracy and respect for human rights. By strengthening women’s political participation, we can strengthen the foundations of democracy.
