Jakarta (MidLand) – Minister of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (PPPA), Bintang Puspayoga, stressed that women are an important resource in national development, because they have extraordinary potential and can make significant contributions.
“Women are extraordinary resources and potentials who can contribute significantly, if given the opportunity to work according to their skills and expertise in their respective fields,” Bintang said online at the SheHacks 2024 launch event, in Jakarta , Thursday.
According to Bintang, based on the 2020 population census, it emerges that women occupy almost half of the Indonesian population. This shows that women have a very important role in holding half of the HR power in this country.
