For the Minister of Women's Affairs

From Suara Karya

Reading Suara Karya's article Tutty Alawiyah sympathetic with Karlina Leksono's struggle, I share your feelings, Tutty Alawiyah.

Additionally, I am thinking of ways to express myself so as to be heard by the authorities to review the steps taken against Karlina and her friends.

But as the state minister of women's affairs, it is not enough for you just to state your sympathy, because your function enables you to iron out the interpretation of Karlina's struggle. You recognize that Karlina's struggle is that of a true mother; a part of the work program of your ministry is to give the rightful place to women.

In accordance with the President's message to you to uphold women's morality, Karlina's noble morality is proven by her representation of all mothers who are responsible for fostering a healthy generation of quality.

The action launched by Karlina and friends was only a reaction to the stance taken by the authorities who tend to be reactive and slow, while demand for nutrients and of the stomach know no compromise.

The state minister of women's affairs, in cooperation with the minister of health as well as other ministers could jointly handle the concern voiced by Karlina and friends. I hope that with your strong stance the concern of us all about Karlina's fate will soon be eliminated.

Do not watch from outside the fence, that is your own turf, please take a shovel and start digging. We are ready to join you.
