Hundreds of Women Stage Picnic at State-Owned Enterprises, Demanding Halt to MBG's Policy
In a bold display of solidarity, hundreds of Indonesian women gathered outside the offices of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) across the country, staging a picnic protest to demand an end to the current administration's policy, known as MBG. The movement, which has been gaining momentum in recent weeks, seeks to address various grievances related to labor laws, working conditions, and social welfare.
The protesters, who were largely made up of workers from different industries, including manufacturing, construction, and services, held a series of picket rallies outside major SOEs, including those in the energy, transportation, and education sectors. They carried banners and placards with slogans such as "MBG, buanglah!" (Get rid of MBG!) and "Kita tidak mau lagi!" (We don't want it anymore!).
The protesters' demands are centered around several key issues, including the enforcement of labor laws, better working conditions, and increased social welfare benefits. They also seek to address the government's policies on income redistribution, which they claim have not benefited the majority of Indonesian workers.
The movement has been gaining traction in recent weeks, with many workers and activists joining the protests and expressing their discontent with the current administration's policy. The protesters are demanding that the government takes immediate action to address their grievances and provides a more equitable solution for all workers.
As the protest continues to gain momentum, it remains to be seen how the government will respond to the demands of the hundreds of women who have taken to the streets to voice their concerns. One thing is certain, however - the movement has sent a clear message that Indonesian workers will no longer tolerate a policy that prioritizes profits over people.
