no longer doubt for equal rights

There would always be major inquiry that ignited pros and cons or even majority did an amen choir but still doubting on this issue. The issue of equal rights is one of the issue who stays on top while it is discussing. A recent survey found that people in many countries buttress the state of equal rights but still questioning on the practice of equal rights in reality. In more than 22 countries surveyed by Pew Research Centre (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/01/world/01iht-poll.html) said that generally the people have no objection of equal rights for women but they realized it’s not that effortless because the aptitude of equal rights for women eroded by many factors such as education, demography and religious affiliation.
In the country like Pakistan and Indonesia which possess a staunchly moslem population, religious affiliation seems defeated by the existence of women president or prime minister recorded in history but yet ensuring the real practice of equal right is really perceivable in those countries. This assertion tangibly shows the society that in some ways women are get their rights but the problem is somehow they are defeated by external factors such as the population of educated and skilled man are higher and the condition where women should be stay at home even they are earned their educational background.
Another reason that probably visible is because the characteristic of the country which seemingly put the highest value on the physical condition of men which favorably durable and flexible to any kind of jobs and They see woman vulnerable for certain jobs.
When I quote my own opinion about equal rights, I always said that I love equality. I never been irritated when women lead certain organizations or be number one in class since I believe that if everyone pushes everything to the limit then they will surely harvest the best things. I even admiring a previous Indonesian financial minister Ms Sri Mulyani who terrifically maintained Indonesian economic performance amid recent global crisis and I proud of her. Back to the condition in my country, where I strongly believe that the people in my country put the highest appreciation on woman, I see that women in Indonesia are blazing their trail to be equal in every realm. I have a sister who got a prestigious position in her office as an auditor of a big company, I have a relative who drive a bus transportation system which is the only one mass rapid transportation in Indonesia and really enjoy her profession as a bus driver and politically the proposition of women in house of representative in Indonesia is increasing (30%) compared to the last session.
Overall, the equal rights for women in every county is in the right track since it shows increasing trend of respected value for woman and for every human kind which eventually reminds us that we are all the same.
