Jakarta (ANTARA) - Women are an important force the nation can tap into to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, said Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection Minister, I Gusti Ayu Bintang Darmawati, better known as Bintang Puspayoga.
"The 2020 Central Statistics Agency (BPS) survey shows that women have a higher level of adherence to health protocols than men," Bintang Puspayoga said in a statement received in Jakarta on Friday.
Bintang Puspayoga said that amid the COVID-19 pandemic, women have assumed many roles as managers in households: they are ensuring their families stay healthy and have their needs met, while still helping the family's economy, and assisting their children in studying at home.
