KPI States Broadcasting Media Has Major Role in Achieving Justice for Women

The role of broadcasting media is no longer limited to delivering information to the public but also serves as a crucial space for promoting gender equality. This was stated by Central KPI Commissioner Tulus Santoso, who believes that broadcasting media can provide a platform for women to appear and contribute equally to men.

The statement was made during his visit to RRI Yogyakarta on 21 April 2026, coinciding with the commemoration of Kartini Day, which is synonymous with women’s struggles for equal rights.

On that occasion, Tulus emphasised that broadcasting media has thus far provided ample space for women to express their abilities and ideas. According to him, many women are now actively appearing as programme hosts, journalists, and resource persons in various broadcast programmes.

“So far, broadcasting spaces have become places for women to create and contribute to the nation,” said Tulus in Yogyakarta on Tuesday, 21 April 2026.

In recent years, the presence of women in the broadcasting world has become increasingly visible. Not only behind the scenes, women are also appearing on screen as figures with important roles in delivering information to the public.

Tulus revealed that he has seen more and more women demonstrating high capacity and professionalism in the broadcasting world. Women are no longer just complements but have become main actors in delivering information and education to the public.

In addition, broadcasting media is also considered active in raising issues related to gender equality. Topics concerning women’s rights, protection for women, and women’s empowerment are increasingly discussed openly in various programmes.

This shows that broadcasting media is not only a means of entertainment but also a space for social education that can drive changes in public mindset.

“We continue to encourage broadcasting institutions to accommodate women to actualise themselves, spread ideas, and give them a stage,” he asserted.

As an institution responsible for overseeing broadcast content, the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission continues to strive to ensure that women receive protection in various broadcast programmes.

According to Tulus, these efforts go beyond promoting equality but also aim to prevent women from becoming harmful objects or being misused in media broadcasts.
