Download The International Labour Organisation last year reported that female workers in Asia are vulnerable to poverty and exploitation.
In Asia, women can earn 70 and 90 percent less than their male counterparts.
The ILO report also surveyed Indonesian factories.
At the state-owned enterprise, Kawasan Berikat Nusantara located in North Jakarta, there are 70 thousand female workers – or 90 percent out of its total workers.
But many women are not granted maternity leave or even paid the minimum wage.
Marsinah Radio, Indonesia’s first radio station for female workers, is teaching them how to fight for their rights.
Damar Fery Ardiyan meets the women behind the mic.
Download Aleta Ba’un is the hero of a new comic strip “Inspirations from Molo” – but her bravery in real life is far more impressive.
Molo is an indigenous community in Indonesia’s East Nusa Tenggara province.
They’re celebrated for winning massive fights against marble mining companies – and Aleta Ba’un is their strongest leader.
Timor island, where she lives, is rich in oil, gas, gold and marble – and it has 19 marble mines scattered across it. It’s the province’s second largest source of income.
But the mines have polluted rivers and destroyed villages in Molo, the island’s greenest area.
Arin Swandari travels there to meet Mama Aleta, housewife-turned-activist.

Download Some people play football only to win – for them, it’s all about who scores the most goals.
But others believe it’s more than a game: because it’s a team sport, it can teach people to cooperate together.
Religious conflict is a burning issue in Indonesia. Recent studies show that in both religious schools and high schools, radical violence against minority communities is a real threat.
This includes Banten province, often called a ‘hotbed’ of radicalism.
Can football promote peace in Banten?
