Irine Yusiana Roba Putri

Irine Yusiana Roba Putri, Member of the House of Representatives: “As a member of parliament and WPL Ambassador for Indonesia, I will do my best to develop public policy and budget that further women’s empowerment and gender equality. Women have been marginalized from public decision making for way too long. If this continues, the public policy and budget will always be biased against women, where women in fact have enormous potential to drive economic and social progress, especially in lower-middle-income families”.
