GENDER MAINSTREAMING IN INDONESIAElimination of Discrimination Against Women in Indonesia

The Indonesian government has the will and strong commitment to eliminate discrimination against women. It can be seen through the following evidence:

1. Article 27 of the 1945 Constitution: "All citizens shall be equal before the law and government and shall uphold the law and government, with no exception"

2. Indonesia has ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination with the Republic of Indonesia Law No. 7 of 1984 on Ratification of Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women. Indonesia has also ratified international instruments relating to the equality rights of women and men, other among others related to women's work in soil and mining, payment of workers men and women for work of equal value, women's political rights , discrimination in education, and others.

- Scarcity of data

- Lack of human resources conducting gender analysis

- Need more gender advocacy

INP

GENDER MAINSTREAMING IN POLICE Gender mainstreaming programs in INP just implemented in 2002.

Still facing obstacles : - Weak support from the top management - Patriarchal culture

Policemen‘s point of view on the performance of policewomen 1. Policewomen are more appropriate in administration works2. Hard duties for Policewomen are against the nature of women,

ethics and traditional norms3. Policewomen are physically not appropriate doing i.e. intelligence

and crime investigation


22

INP

CHALLENGES

Increasing the number of policewomen (30%)

The equality of education opportunities and positions

Empowering of policewomen

Cultural change within the INP : gender mainstreaming
