When women empower the economy in their families, their roles will become increasingly vital so that they can shape a family that places importance on independence, personal and social values. "This year, we expect to empower over 500,000 Indonesian women, most of whom simply just need access and opportunity. By strengthening a household economy through women, we strengthen the national economy," Iqbal added.
