JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – The number of cases that harm women, ranging from violence and discrimination, gender equality issues make conversation warmed up.
Field of the infrastructure itself is often considered to be the domain of men because the number of technicians men more than women.
this makes the role of women in this field, particularly as users of infrastructure, lack of attention.
“Based on our experience, is not much that has experience of gender issues and simultaneously integrate it in infrastructure projects, especially transportation, “said Gender Officer Indonesia infrastructure Initiative (IndII) Eko Utomo during a discussion titled” Gender and Social Inclusion Pespective in Research for Development “, at Hotel Aryaduta, Jakarta, Tuesday (07/12/2016).
He said, most technicians do not have the sensitivity to the perspective of gender equality and social inclusion. For the technicians, the issue of gender equality is not a practical aspect and require discussion.
According to them, these discussions spend the usual time they spend on the practice field.
“The engineers have had a worldview that one plus one equals two. They love baseball chatter long-term and difficult to be invited to the discussion, “said Eko.
in fact, by increasing gender sensitivity in infrastructure development, women can feel comfortable as the infrastructure.
in the field of transport, for example, little things, like the handle on the bus unit is too high, making women feel uncomfortable.
If the infrastructure is built or procured with sensitivity to gender issues, then things like this can be avoided.
