JAKARTA - The celebrity couple Christian Sugiono and Titi Kamal participated in celebrating Women's Equality Day which fell on 26 August. Although always handsome, Christian Sugiono without awkwardness helps his wife who he married in 2009 to cook in the kitchen.

"Happy Women's Equality Day which falls on August 26. One thing that makes me grateful is that I have a husband who is always supportive and willing to help his wife in the kitchen," Titi said as quoted by ANTARA on Saturday, August 28.

In line with Titi, Christian said that cooking is not just a wife's job. "The kitchen is not only the wife's responsibility, the husband can also help because a real husband cooks," said Tian. He hopes that what he does can be an example for the boys in the family, who later are expected to become husbands who are aware of gender equality.

Based on data from The Global Gender Gap Index 2020 released by the World Economic Forum, awareness of gender equality in Indonesia is still low. One of them is caused by the lack of education about gender equality in society from an early age.

Therefore, as adults, there are still stereotypes attached to certain genders, especially women, where women are always expected to be able to cook and take care of the kitchen, while men are often considered taboo to cook.

"We believe that it is important to educate and encourage the younger generation to have an understanding of gender equality, which will be one of their great assets when they start building their own families in the future," said Mira Buanawati, Head of Legal & Corporate Affairs Kraft Heinz Indonesia & PNG.
