In dealing with women’s issues in Jakarta, the candidates to be Jakarta’s next governor are apparently not all on the same page.
During a public discussion entitled “Perempuan Jakarta Nyari Gubernur” (Jakarta women seek a governor) on Tuesday, Alex Noerdin and Joko “Jokowi” Widodo focused on maternity needs.
Alex, who relied on his experience as the incumbent governor of South Sumatra, said that he would provide mother’s rooms, for things like breast-feeding and diaper changes, in private and state buildings, as well as day care facilities, and require all companies to honor women’s rights to maternity leave.
Jokowi would even provide mother’s rooms in public places, including bus terminals and train stations.
