Chairwoman of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), Megawati Soekarnoputri, has urged more women to join politics in the hope that some of them would be the presidential candidates of the future. “We should have another woman president. I don’t know in what year, though,” Megawati said in a discussion about women and civilization held at the party’s headquarters in South Jakarta on Wednesday. She said she lamented the fact that so many women were reluctant to join politics these days. “Most of them say they aren’t given permission by their husbands,” she said.
