AKARTA: The government is looking for candidates to be selected as Indonesia's commissioners to the ASEAN Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and Children.
"The 8th meeting of ASEAN's committee on women agreed that member countries must submit the names of their representatives by March 15 at the latest," Sri Danti Anwar, the head of the selection committee from the Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Ministry, was quoted as saying by Antara news agency.
Each country has to appoint two commissioners. Anwar said the selection process, which will also involve other ministries, including the Foreign Ministry, will be transparent. Candidates should have experience with issues facing women and children at the regional and international levels.
