Source: Antara News

Jakarta (ANTARA) - As Indonesia will hold the 2024 General Elections on February 14, 2024, efforts to support women's representation in politics are still needed.

The Global Gender Gap Index 2022 released by the World Economic Forum ranked Indonesia in the 92nd position out of 146 countries, with a score of 0.697.

For the Political Empowerment subindex, the score stood at 0.169, the country's lowest score as compared to the other three subindexes, namely Economic Participation and Opportunity, Health and Survival, and Educational Attainment.

The low representation of women in parliament is the most obvious example of the lack of women's political empowerment.
