One of the classic reasons for being a scapegoat from womens political backwardness is a matter of patriarchal culture, that is, women are considered more suitable to take care of domestic (private) areas while men in the public sphere.

The location of this study is in Malang, this region has a phenomenon of dynamics of local politics that is interesting to study. The approach in this study is an interpretive approach with a qualitative descriptive type.

Only one political party, PKS stated that in its platform between men and women bound in a proportional relation of complementarity in order to realize the "mandate" of human creation. In the four political parties there has been no specific implementation of gender sensitivity-based political education, there are only a few programs related to the field of women. From the conditions of political education that mentioned above, a model of gender sensitivity-based political education can be developed
