Comments: A law violates women’s rights

March 12, Online

The law on blasphemy tramples on the rights of women, the National Commission on Violence Against Women testified Friday in the judicial review of the 1965 law.
Commission chairwoman Yunianti Chuzzifah told the Constitutional Court her organization had received several reports from women who had been discriminated against because they were followers of religious sects and traditional beliefs not officially recognized by the government.

Your comments:
I live in the United States and all believers can worship their god according to their faith. It’s really cool. Justice for all and non-discrimination based on religion, race, gender, age, ethnicity or disability.
Therefore America is the most peaceful and prosperous country in the world. Liberty has been given by god to all people, and we have to protect it. I hope Indonesia will be peaceful country, if everyone has freedom to worship their god, even the non-believers.
Our future society will be a free society and all elements of oppression, cruelty and force will be destroyed.

Religious entities have the power to make laws you see repression against women as well as everyone else. Just think of Saudi Arabia or even Aceh. If Indonesia wishes to come out of the dark ages and join the developing world, it will have to come up with a different mindset and completely separate the government from religion.

This is democracy at its finest – the freedom to speak the truth. God bless Indonesia.
