When\ngiven the opportunity, they can serve as leaders and genuine\nrepresentatives of the people,\u201d said the NasDem Party legislator.<\/p>\n<p>As a female DPR RI member, Cindy Monica urged women to boldly enter\npolitics and directly bring societal aspirations to the national level.\nShe hopes more women, especially the youth, will confidently take on\nleadership roles in national development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPolitics must no longer be seen as a limited space for women. Today,\nwomen must be present, speak out, and help shape Indonesia\u2019s future,\u201d\nCindy said.<\/p>",
