Women's Coalition Appreciates Jokowi For Appointing Eight Women Ministers

Jakarta, Nov 25 (Antara) - Indonesian Women`s Coalition for Justice and Democracy (KPI) has appreciated President Joko Widodo for appointing eight women as ministers in his cabinet. "It proves that women are also capable of becoming ministers," Management Staff Information Division of KPI Hidayatut Thoyyibah said here on Tuesday. Other women can draw inspiration from the eight ministers to take up work in public offices, Thoyyibah observed. She pointed out that every woman who is capable will gain the best place. Women who have successful careers deserve double appreciation because they also play the roles of mothers and wives at home and excel in their jobs at the same time. "A man becoming successful is not new. But when a woman accomplishes that, it becomes amazing because she always has dual responsibilities," she noted. Thoyiibah remarked that KPI will keep fighting for women and support them in gaining their rightful places. KPI will conduct awareness campaigns among women, government offices, and private companies.
