“This is interesting, yes, later according to Tri that it (Megawati’s speech) was considered one of labeling and a kind of gender insensitive,” said Hersubeno, quoted on Thursday (23/2/2023).
It is known that Tri or Tri Wahyu is the coordinator of the Yogyakarta Human Rights Coalition who reported Megawati’s speech to Komas Perempuan.
Tri suspects that Megawati’s speech about women reciting recitations contains an indication of gender labeling or a form of gender injustice in which mothers who enjoy reciting recitations abandon their children.
Tri admitted that he did not find a database showing how active mothers went to recitation and then threw their children, both from the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency (BPIP), the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection. , as well as related agencies at the regional level.
The Yogyakarta Human Rights Coalition Coordinator regretted Megawati’s attitude, especially considering her positions at BRIN and BPIP.

According to him, Megawati should have been able to put forward a wise attitude before acting, especially in public spaces.
On the other hand, General Secretary of Baitul Muslimin Indonesia (Bamusi) Nasyirul Falah Amru (Gus Falah) defended the statement by the Chairman of the PDIP.
“He explained that Megawati’s intention was that she was surprised that mothers liked to take part in recitations, not forbidding mothers from taking part in recitations. Falah said Megawati only asked mothers to be balanced in reciting the Koran and taking care of their children,” explained Hersubeno.
On a separate occasion, Gus Falah conveyed his interpretation through a written statement. According to him, Megawati meant that mothers could balance their worldly and afterlife affairs so that stunting and so on could be avoided.
What’s more, Megawati also apologized earlier in her speech and asked that she not be bullied for her opinion regarding women recitation.
“So, all parties should not fry news that is not based on Mrs Megawati’s true statement,” said Gus Falah.
