JAKARTA - Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) activist Yenny Wahid said Indonesian women still have a double burden, in the political field, for example, when facing general elections (elections) where women's voices have not been represented. "The representation of women has not been felt too much, especially if you have to fight with men in the election, because women still bear a double burden, at home they still have to take care of children, after that they have to go back to the electoral district (dapil), not to mention if later their children cry," Yenny said when met at the Faculty of the Indonesian Student Association (PPI) event in Jakarta, Friday, May 26, was confiscated by Antara. According to Yenny, there needs to be an affirmation in government policy to ensure that women still get quotas and are facilitated in parliamentary seats. "There needs to be an affirmate action by adding quotas for women, but, it doesn't stop just at the time of deceleration, the position in his own parliament should also remain 30 percent. I think so, it will only be more pronounced. her involvement," he said.
Yenny said that only women can realize agendas and important policies to ensure a sense of security and comfort for women in public spaces. "Men don't understand that menstruation is necessary, that public spaces for breast milk or lactating mothers are needed. Men don't know, only women can fight for such things," he said.
"It is women who understand how it feels to be harassed on trains, so it is necessary, for example, women's special carriages. This is one example in public policy," he said.
According to him, women's involvement in politics in Indonesia is still paradoxical (as opposed to common but correct opinions). "One of the strongest people in Indonesia is a woman, this is politically what we are talking about, yes, but on the other hand, the involvement of other women, has not been too representative in the political arena, this is a paradox," he said. Therefore, he said, there needs to be clear policies from the DPR and political parties (political parties) related to the dual burden of women in politics.
"Everything in Indonesia, the key is in political parties. If political parties want to support A's policies, yes, so A. His job is political parties to carry it all, if the government does not approve, political parties must make initiatives through their representatives in the DPR," he said.
