UNITING INDONESIAN WOMEN FOR A EQUAL FUTURE
Amidst the current global challenges, women are one of the vulnerable groups that will be affected in many ways. According to Kompas, climate change has a significant impact on women in Indonesia, especially those living in disaster-prone areas and vulnerable environments.
Various impacts of climate change affect women ranging from food crises, and health and clean water sanitation, to migration and conflict, socioeconomics, and vulnerability to gender-based violence.
Women in Papua, with all its opportunities and challenges, are the main subjects in nation-building and important pillars in the sustainability of the future. They are not at the forefront but play a role in determining the lives of generations. Cultural construction has not placed women in the work spaces but women are the directors of every meaning of the story. When women are silent, it does not mean that they are fine but they are struggling so that they are strong to support others.
The understanding of "beautiful" is not only something that is seen from the outside or in physical appearance but the beauty in question is beautiful from within, namely confidence, integrity, and dignity.
While Perspirex realizes that people in Papua, especially women in this context still need support, not only financially, but also personally, therefore, we are here to participate in this initiative which is in line with our mission, which is for women in Papua to become more confident and represent the diversity of Indonesia. Perspirex hope is that people in Papua, especially women in this context, can become better in every way, including in organizing themselves. Because this is considered the beginning of the development of individuals and also Papua as a whole.
i.kal & Agatha Beauty Store emphasized several times on this occasion, Ikal's support by the motto, namely Curly & Proud strives to help Papuan women to be proud of themselves especially, their hair, and then explore all the uniqueness and privileges they have so that they increasingly develop into women who have strong self-confidence and can provide a good influence for the next generation of Papuan women. i.kal hopes that in the future Papuan women will be more advanced, and confident and can exist in all fields they like, be worthy, and be recognized in Indonesia and the world.
Then, Avoskin strengthens her motivation to align with Avoskin's commitment that is concerned with women's empowerment. The hope is that Papuan women will get new insights through this class so that they can be more confident to embrace themselves because every woman has their uniqueness and beauty and get to know Avoskin more closely.
WWF-Indonesia appreciates the sponsors by strengthening the narrative of domestic products that are environmentally friendly, natural with natural ingredients, and do not use many preservatives such as i.kal products. Hopefully, this collaboration can continue with real work with women for the good and progress of themselves and the universe.
