Women's voice

From Media Indonesia

It sounds as if it is enough to talk about Indonesian women's sufferings, which have been inherited from generation to generation. It has been tiring enough to trust men to fight for our future and rights. It is time we rolled up our sleeves to fight for our own destiny.

In order to support the efforts towards upholding women's human rights, we the Indonesian Women's Network (JAPI) hereby declare as follows:

1. Indonesian women must actively play a role in all areas of national life.

2. Indonesian women are playing the role of peacemaker in all kinds of conflicts in Indonesia.

3. Indonesian women must demand an equal share in overall political participation, such as membership of the legislature, supreme advisory council and supreme court.

Eventually, women should become the pioneers of law enforcement so as to thoroughly investigate all irregularities in this country.
