Power is not given, you have to earn it yourself and fight for it.

Hello good morning, I'm Cindy Nur Oktaviani from vocational studies of IPB University

At this moment I would like to talk about gender and equality, and this is SDGs point number 5 

Gender inequalities are still deep-rooted in every society. Women suffer from lack of access to decent work and face occupational segregation and gender wage gaps. In many situations, they are denied access to basic education and health care and are victims of violence and discrimination. They are under-represented in political and economic decision-making processes.

    Ladies and gentlemen, gender is various attributes and behaviors that are attached to women and men and shaped by culture, and from this, it emerges what is appropriate for women and men. For example, it is still a matter of controversy if any woman sits in charge of leadership, meanwhile if the position is held by a man, it does not matter. The impact of this system is the birth of a product Gender legal which is more detrimental to women. Reality like this is built by the socio-cultural system of patriarchy.

Why is a Gender Perspective Important in Poverty Diagnosis?

    According to the data on the representation of women in Indonesia in political institutions, only 9 out 100 percent of women represent the people as a result of problems that occur in the private sphere, such as violence against women, are not program targets.

The issue of gender inequality exists in every aspect of social life, starting from the social, political and economic structures.

In terms of women's access to the labor market, it appears that there is a tendency for women to enter the labor market to be much smaller in number than men.

Being productive, reproductive and carrying out social functions in the community, women always carry out these three responsibilities, while men are  responsible for productive work only. Many women are educated equal to men but have to give up work opportunities because they have to be responsible for domestic work. They have a double burden because they work outside the home and still have to be responsible for doing housework  and parenting. When they want to work outside the home, unmarried women generally have to get permission from parents and those who are already married must get permission from the husband.

Apart from facing limited access to the labor market and work, women also face the problem of wage discrimination. Many women (especially in rural areas) do not have assets of production and skills to work in the formal sector, so they must ultimately try their luck in the informal sector, among others, by becoming TKW. Women's access to health services is very easy. Is there any insurance if a woman gives birth to a child who will live in prosperity?

Indonesia is now included in the public sphere. However, the participation of women, for example, in public work has not guaranteed the fulfillment of the rights of women workers. They still receive discriminatory treatment in the workplace. The wages they receive tend to be lower than that male workers. Benefits received by male workers are not necessarily accepted by women workers, even for their type the same job.

Either going to a career or becoming a housewife, a woman must be highly educated because she will become a mother. Smart mothers will produce smart children. as Dian Sastro once said.

When a woman can have a career and be successful in her field, there is a big responsibility that must be carried by a woman, namely the responsibility of taking care of the family, especially educating the baby. Shouldn't a woman have the knowledge to teach her baby? Therefore, education is important 

The world is getting more advanced so that women's knowledge is not restricted because of the patriarchal system. Higher education to make achievements for women is knowledge and the knowledge will later be transmitted to their children. But in essence, women are always seen as weak and helpless creatures compared to men whereas, it is from the wombs of women that every human being in this world is born. With all their responsibility, compassion and strength, women in this world educate and raise great leaders. The proverb once said that if a woman gives birth to a son, she will give birth to a leader, but if a woman gives birth to a girl, she will create a new leader for the future. It's time for women to rise. It is time for patriarchy towards women to be eliminated as cleanly as possible. It is time for the world to realize that women's rights are no longer nonsense. Education, freedom of opinion, equality and others should be felt by women without fear of threats, fear of harassment, and fear of lowering self-esteem.
