In conformity with the demands of the reform era and<br>\ndemocratization which is marked by the increasing number of<br>\npolitical parties, the Indonesian Women's Congress (Kowani), as<br>\nthe largest and oldest federation of women in the country, wishes<br>\nthat women's potential be fully utilized in every aspect of the<br>\nnation's life and involved in the decision-making process. In<br>\nthis context, each party should nominate women as a minimum of 20<br>\npercent of its entire legislature slate, likewise for the<br>\nexecutive and judiciary.<\/p>\n<p>2. Kowani calls on political parties:<\/p>\n<p>* To be broadminded, honest and just in their struggle for the<br>\ninterests of the majority of the people and this for the sake of<br>\nunity and integrity of the nation, eschewing the use of force.<\/p>\n<p>* The election campaign should not involve mass mobilizations as<br>\nthese may disturb public order and create physical clashes,<br>\ndisturbances and violence similar to the May 1998 situation.<\/p>\n<p>3. Instead, it is more appropriate for all political parties<br>\nto conduct dialogs, which also serve as a means of educating<br>\nsociety, and refrain from making empty promises.<\/p>\n<p>Kowani would also like to call on the female members of the<br>\nHouse of Representatives not only to concern themselves with the<br>\npractical needs of women but also to be committed to fight for<br>\nwomen's causes in the framework of placing them on the same plane<br>\nas their male partners as assets of society and nation.<\/p>\n<p>Kowani further invites all components of society to enhance<br>\nthe role of women in politics, democracy, law and human rights on<br>\nthe basis of morals and religious values, which must start within<br>\nthe family.<\/p>\n<p>Indonesian Women's Congress<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
