Inhalt: This article contends that cultural, political and historical factors create a local
political environment where de facto discrimination against women is the norm. Without
thoroughly addressing and altering the underlying issues causing discrimination against
women in politics, a weak quota system will not immediately lead to increased women’s
participation in Bali. This paper argues that the leading factors contributing to
low levels of Balinese women’s participation include widespread money politics, the
revitalisation of customary institutions and local identities through decentralisation,
and the collective memory of the violent dissolution of the Indonesian Women’s Movement
(Gerwani) in 1965–66.
