RE: Steemit Engagement Challenge / SEC-S19 / W5 | "Why is Gender Equality Necessary?"
Hi @ ayijufridar, We appreciate you taking the time to discuss gender equality and Indonesia's laws pertaining to women's representation in politics. That you have been actively advocating for this cause is wonderful to hear. Yes, gender equality matters to all not only for woman.
You are correct education plays a crucial role in addressing issues related to gender equality, and it is essential for raising awareness among people from all walks of life.
Thank you for participation in the interesting contest, wish you all the best.
Although there have been improvements in regulations, the implementation of gender equality in Indonesia, in my opinion, is still weak. Only in politics has it gotten better. While in regulations in other fields, the gender is still male.
In the world of work, it is now starting to improve because female workers have received maternity leave, paternity leave, and breastfeeding leave. All companies should enforce this regulation as a form of their support for women.
However, the proof is that there are still many companies and factories that do not implement this regulation. The women who are victims do not dare to protest because they are afraid of losing their jobs.
this is what I mean, there is still a lot of homework to strengthen awareness of gender equality.
Thanks so much for your response @jyoti-thelight.
