22nd December that was celebrated as Mother Day, had been passed, but of course didn’t mean matter that was related with mother has passed just like that. Even like mother love that took place for all time, same also we should give attention to mother for all time.
Talked about Mother, we would be faced to a girl or woman. History had recorded so many women took share on every step of Indonesia, started from fighting faced Dutch colonizer that was done by Cut Nyak Dien and friends until diplomatic fight by RA Kartini, which was succeed raised women degree to a place that was equal with men, although until this day there was still some discrepancy and violence toward women.
From yearly note of Women National Committee there were 14.020 cases of violence to women on 2004. The number was increased quite incisive than before (2003) 7.787 cases. This number was case that was identified. From those 14.020 cases, 4.310 among it was violence on household cases, 562 trafficking cases, and 302 cases that was done by apparatus.
Whereas, if it was looked actually Indonesia have had UU No 7/1984 about Ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Form of Discrimination against Women. Unfortunately, government seemed still “half-hearted” on its implementation.
Although there were UU No 23/2004 about Abolition of Violence on Household, violence toward women was still happened. Violence toward women included to quite complex problem. We would be faced with problem of relation, personal relation (inter-individual), women and men, women and women, or social relation, women with society environment or even with country. If started to develop relation with confrontation, so it was sure reaction that was appeared then was resistance (refusal). Fact in field showed there was power relation that was unbalanced between men and women. This relation’s imbalance could be happened inside house, as example, between husband and wife.
With this unbalanced personal relation, often happened violence on household incident, such as husband hit women, harsh manner shout, abuse verbally, household neglect, and forced that brought misery to women.
Empowerment
In middle of problem complicated about violence toward women in this country it had been the time for us to identify basic problem, which became reason from everything that harmed Mother. On women empowerment development, basic problem was low of women participation on development, besides there was still practice of discrimination to women.
On law context, this discrepancy reflected limited access for mostly women to good health service, higher education, and involvement on wider public activity. Other matter that became problem, low of women quality and role, high of violence act to women and children, low of children welfare and protection, low of Gender Related Development Index-GDI number just 59,2 than HDI number 65,8 and Gender Empowerment Measurement-GEM 54,6 occupied rank 33rd from 71 countries that were measured. Still many law and legislation regulations were bias gender.
Besides that patriarchy culture that was still many professed in Indonesia society often “put position” of women on subordinate status. Such as, when there was limited of resource on family, so younger brother that would keep go to school since older sister was asked to work helped on household with argument that they would married in the end and also would work in kitchen.
Society social-culture changing needed very long time even on generation measure, so effort that related with social-culture changing was tried through continue establishment.
Gender’s in-equal and injustice like that was coped through Presidential Directive No 9/2000 implementation about Gender Elimination on Development. This Presidential Directive instructed women empowerment program on each program, sector, and area.
On that connection, women empowerment policy was pointed to improve women involvement on politic process and public position, improved education standard and health service and other development sector to improved life quality and women resource, increased anti-violence toward women and children campaign, perfected criminal law equipment that was more complete to protect every individual from violence act, exploitation, and discrimination included violence on household.
Then, improved children welfare and protection, strengthen institutional, coordination, and gender mainstreaming network and children on planning, monitoring, and evaluation from various policies, program and development activity in every sector, included international commitment fulfilling, supply data and gender statistic and society participation improvement.
Women characteristic as women not only located on women nature just for pregnant and give birth. But to mother capability on taking care of their children since born until mature. Besides that, modern world demand had located women on equal position with men.
Thus it had been really clear that women also had role that didn’t lose to men. Because of that, let’s women continued to create but with still conscious and understood about their position on family, society and country.
This time we must be realized that there had been so many women’s sacrificed and contribution, biologically have had “rights” to bear mother predicate or that still waiting, but still rights to get it. So on celebrating day of this mother sublime, was right time to thank over mother merit on doing their nature job, which was pregnant, give birth, give such, and work on created family improvement, society, and this country. Realization form from thank you feeling could be a chance giving to create something like men.
