Background

Justice means that women and girls are participating equally in all
economic, social, political and cultural aspects of their lives, having
leadership roles, accessing resources and services and participating in
decisions that affect their lives (OCS, 2015). Regardless of the works
that has been done by gender activists in Indonesia, as well as
increasing Government of Indonesia’s commitment, to increase gender
equality; , Indonesia’s Gender Inequality Index (GII) remains low. The 2014 GII released by the UNDP stated that Indonesia holds the 110th position of 188 countries. This indicated that the achievement of gender justice in the country remains an ongoing challenge.

are having control over their body and their lives, access over
resources and participate in decision making where it affects their
lives and that of their families and communities.”
