Indonesia Women Right's

Another country with little women rights is Indonesia. In the article "Indonesia: Women's Rights" it talks about how many woman are mistreated in the country and about how they are. "In this culture the government identifies women as first and foremost a wife to her husband, secondly as a mother to her children, and thirdly as a housewife. A woman is never considered to be a human being, an individual, or in her own right; they are often called Pelayan, which in Javanese actually means servant." This quote from the article shows exactly how women in some countries are mistreated. they don't even have rights as a human being. If the woman works outside the home and something goes wrong with the children or with the husband the wife is the one blamed because in that culture her main priority should be working in the home. A woman's average daily wage when working outside the home is  7,000 rupiah which sounds like a lot until you learn that 7,000 rupiah is equal to less than 2 dollars in the US. Women have started taking control though, some women don't marry or have kids which is strange in Indonesia. Even though women in Indonesia try to fight these set backs it is still difficult for a woman to get pass these normal standards. But women right's do seem to be improving everyday.
