North Sulawesi is the province with the highest national percentage of female village heads.

Based on the Village Potential Survey (Podes) by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the role of women as village heads in North Sulawesi reached 16.56% in 2018. This means that 16.56% of village heads in this province were women.

The next provinces with the highest percentage of female village heads are Gorontalo at 13.18%, followed by East Java at 9.48%, and South Sulawesi at 7.98%.

The provinces with the lowest percentage of female village heads are Aceh at only 0.55%, followed by North Kalimantan at 1.14%, and Bali at 1.27%.

Nationally, the percentage of female village heads reached 4.9% in 2018. This proportion increased compared to 2014, which was only 4.82%.
