Jokowi's Staff Of Gender Equality: There Are Still A Lot Of Women Pushing Each Other Down, This Is The Time For Synergy

JAKARTA - The President's Special Staff (Stafsus) for Social Affairs, Angkie Yudistia, supports gender equality, especially for women from vulnerable groups, including people with disabilities.

Angkie said this in a virtual discussion at the Merdeka Barat 9 Forum today. He said that women from millennials, and with special needs, dealing with the destruction of an era that continues to change are very difficult.

Because they have to force themselves to always adapt to the surrounding environment, plus women from vulnerable groups always compare themselves to other women who are more beautiful, smart, and great, in addition to comparing themselves with men who are more dominant.

Moreover, said Angkie, many women are found outside big cities, who feel inferior with their limitations.

"Unfortunately, a lot of women from vulnerable groups don't see it as a challenge. How do we break through limitations and break through existing barriers," said Angkie, quoted from Antara.

Therefore, Angkie considers it important for women to empower women, or to strengthen each other among women. "This is the time for us to support each other, not to bring each other down," he said.

Unfortunately, according to Angkie, many facts that occur are that there are still many women who bring each other down.

"So when we compare the equality between men and women, in fact, there are still many women and women who bring each other down. This is the time for us to synergize, let's collaborate so that these women can move forward, by joining hands and supporting each other. judge' (judge) each other, that these women can be equal between women," he said.
