Think of the women who have shaped your life.
A mother who keeps going every day, balancing work and family with unwavering love.
An older sister who becomes your safe place whenever life feels overwhelming.
A friend who courageously pursues her dreams despite the challenges she faces.
Or a colleague whose dedication, leadership, and compassion inspire those around her every single day.
These inspiring women and countless others, make our families stronger, our communities more resilient, and our future brighter. But imagine if their journey was still held back by unequal opportunities, unsafe environments, voices that go unheard, or doubts about their ability to lead. Because safety, equal opportunity, access, respect, and the freedom to be heard are not privileges. They are fundamental rights that everyone deserves.
For more than five decades in Indonesia, and for the past eight years as Yayasan CARE Peduli (CARE Indonesia), we have worked alongside communities, women, families, governments, the private sector, and partners to create lasting change.
At CARE, we believe meaningful change begins when everyone, including women:
Feels safe and lives free from physical, verbal, psychological, and economic violence
Has a voice that is heard, respected, and valued
Has equal opportunities to learn, work, lead, and build a business
Can access quality healthcare and education
Plays an active role in protecting the environment and addressing the climate crisis.
Is trusted to participate in decisions that shape their future
When women thrive, families flourish, communities grow stronger, and societies become more resilient.
Every woman has a story. Every act of support creates new possibilities.
Through #Setara8erdaya, CARE celebrates the progress we’ve made together while inviting you to become part of the movement toward a more equal future.
Tell us about the inspiring woman in your life.
It could be your mother, sister, friend, teacher, mentor, colleague, or someone whose strength has made a difference.
Share her story and let us know: What kind of support do you think would help her feel safer, access equal opportunities, and continue inspiring those around her?
Together, let’s celebrate women who inspire change—and help create a world where every woman has the opportunity to thrive.
