Sri Mulyani Proposes Allowance For Female Civil Servants For Childbirth Leave To Be Paid In Full Memory Of Today, April 28, 2017

JAKARTA Memories of today, seven years ago, April 28, 2017, the Minister of Finance (Menkeu), Sri Mulyani proposed that all female Civil Servants (PNS) who are on maternity leave should get a full salary and work visit. He expressed this desire to support gender equality.

Previously, female civil servants who were on maternity leave were not given full work visits. This condition is considered unfair to women. The government was also asked to provide privileges to civil servants wa

Women's welfare affairs are often a polemic. Their status is never considered equal. Access to the fulfillment of women's rights in work is never full. Take for example in matters of maternity leave.

Many countries do not provide women with proper leave and allowances. Women's assets who act as mothers are considered obstacles in their work. This condition does not only take place in one or two countries, but many countries.

The International Labor Organization (ILO) revealed that nearly 80 percent of the 830 million women who do not have protection and pregnancy visits are in the African regions of Sub Sahara and Asia. Women often do not get legal protection and work.

Conditions in Indonesia are a little better. Governments and companies in Indonesia care about the issue of maternity leave. The rights of pregnant women are fulfilled, even though not all of them. Giving her leave is also done.

The problem with the allowance for pregnant women is not given entirely. This condition can be seen when a woman works as a servant of the state. Women who become state servants often do not receive full allowances when playing.

This condition has been going on for a long time. Women's access to full benefits is something that is taboo to discuss. However, not in the era of the Minister of Finance held by Sri Mulyani. He understands that women should get their rights. He also spoke up about it on April 28, 2017.

"They have the same right to be fully available, at best I think all civil servants do not have much in terms of consequences. If they are paid as if they work full namepaid leave, they give birth to a canpaid leave, everything they receive as a salary they have to receive. Barubase salt or they get some because they are considered not working only."

"But I will see things that I think can still be improved and strengthened. I even invite countries that do gender streaming (the concept of gender equality). If in Canada the Minister of Finance said no programs would be carried out if there was no gender analysis," said Sri Mulyani, April 28, 2017.

Sri Mulyani views that the current policy does not support gender equality. Sri Mulyani also plans to propose a salary plus allowance for civil servants who are on full maternity leave.

He did not want the policy of giving full salaries and allowances to only occur in the Ministry of Finance. He wants all ministries in Indonesia to do it. Everything is in order to raise the status of women and make them equal. The proposal has been fought for until now. In fact, starting to enter the realm of leave rights for men whose wives gave birth.

"They have the same right to be fully (paid and allowance). So that it is not an initiative of a ministry, but it is a national policy," Sri Mulyani was quoted as saying on the Kontan.com page, April 28, 2017.
