Abstract
This article examines the strategies of women movement to
construct the global gender equality regime, and Indonesia
response toward the global gender equality regime. Women
movement takes two strategies to fight for gender equality.
Firstly, women advocate to change public policy at the national
level. Second, women advocate to change public policy at the
international level. It use constructivist perspective as a
framework to analyze. Constructivism focus on the transmission
of ideas/norms in this era of globalization which be done
through women movement as a transnational civil society. It is
demonstrating how gender norms and identities are constructed
in Indonesia and global socio political contexts. Constructivism
shows how gender equality become “global culture” and
shape Indonesian national policies such as establishment of
women empowerment ministry, domestic violence law and
women quota in parliament,
