Women are making strides in the Indonesian National Armed Forces with support from President Joko Widodo.
Widodo referred to women serving in the Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI) as “role models for our progress” and “the country’s expression of love for the people.” He made his remarks during a ceremony in April 2018 marking Kartini Day, which commemorates Raden Ajeng Kartini, a 19th-century female pioneer in the effort to educate girls and to advance women’s rights.
“This issue of women in the Armed Forces is becoming an area of focus for the Jokowi administration,” Gen. Dr. Moeldoko, Widodo’s chief of staff and a former TNI commander, told FORUM. “Just four years ago, women were admitted for the first time as cadets to the military academy. Now, women are entering new areas of service, so soon it is possible that we will have female combat pilots, which will be a mark of pride for us.”
