        "content": "<p>Deputy Speaker of the MPR RI, Lestari Moerdijat, has reminded that\nimproving literacy and citizen protection systems is necessary in the\nrapidly evolving era of digitalisation. This is because current digital\ndevelopments open up substantial opportunities for Indonesian women.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe current digital revolution truly opens up major economic\nopportunities for Indonesian women, but at the same time, the threat of\nonline gender-based violence (KBGO) faced by women continues to rise.\nThis must be a serious concern for all parties,\u201d said Lestari Moerdijat\nin her statement on Monday (20\/4).<\/p>\n<p>Data from the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs\n(Kemenkomdigi) for 2025 shows that 64.5% or 37 million UMKM actors are\nwomen. However, on the other hand, the National Commission on Violence\nAgainst Women recorded 8,543 complaints of KBGO cases throughout 2025, a\nfigure that increased by 35% from the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn efforts to prioritise the active role of women in the development\nprocess, realising increased participation of women in the UMKM sector\nby utilising existing digital developments is a strategic step,\u201d said\nLestari in her statement on Monday (20\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>She stated that such steps must be accompanied by intensive efforts\nto improve literacy and implement adequate protection systems for women\nand children in the digital space.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, the involvement of stakeholders and the public is\nneeded to realise a safe and productive digital ecosystem for every\ncitizen, including women and children, and this must be carried out\nimmediately.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, increasing women\u2019s participation in the development\nprocess is part of efforts to produce a healthy and competitive future\ngeneration for the nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCollaboration between government, private sector, communities, and\nsociety is no longer an option, but a necessity to create a safe\nenvironment and enhance the role of Indonesian women in the development\nprocess,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>",
