if in indonesia, women and men have same in equal rights

In 95% of the country, it's the same as UK, USA, Italy, Netherlands etc.: full equal rights, voting of course, participation in politics of course (the leader of the labor party is a woman), equal numbers of men and women in schools and universities etc.

There are, however, problems with religious minorities in Israel: among orthodox Jews, women do not have the same social privileges as men. According to traditional Judaism, most of the religious duties and rights are for men. Now, many streams of Judaism have women Rabbis, but in the orthodox schools men and women sit separately in the synagogue etc. In the last few years, separation of men and women has become more extreme among SOME orthodox Jews - separation within the house, and also on bus lines where most of the passengers are from these extremist groups, women are requested to sit in the back. Now, this is not legal, these are not government policies, orthodox Jews live in large enclosed communities and obey their leaders, so they put a lot of pressure on local businesses and bus companies not to have advertisements of women etc. In the past year, there have been many protests about this issue - especially over a small extremist group in Bet Shean who abused or attacked women and girls in the street because they did not like their clothes. The police of course took action and arrest anyone who does this.

I do not know as much about Israeli Muslims, some Muslim women wear normal modern clothes, others wear a long dress and head scarf. I think there are much more Muslim women who dress according to religious rules than Jewish women. The question is whether they have equal rights in other ways. I think that like Jews, it depends on which group. As you know, in some Muslim countries besides Israel the situation is very bad. By the way, we also have a similar situation as other western countries with homosexuals. In some parts of the country, homosexuals can go out in the street safely, but at the same time, two years ago someone broke into an LGBT club meeting and shot several young people to death :(.

Yes, sadly, women are not treated equally in all of Israel, but I want to emphasize that this is only in a few places. It's like two different worlds. For example: in the part of Jerusalem where I live you go to a restaurant and there can be religious / non-religious, Jewish / Muslim / Christian, Men / Women all sitting together, but you go to another part of Jerusalem to an orthodox neighborhood, there may be signs that ask women to dress "humbly" and not to drive through the street on Saturday. Also, in most places, even if there's a sign that asks women to dress "humbly", nothing will happen if you walk around in short pants - they may shout at you but they won't attack - but in other parts of the city it might be dangerous.

In Tel-Aviv and Haifa and other cities like that, women wear whatever they want in every street, even in the orthodox Jewish neighborhoods. So it's very very different, depending on where you are!

Thanks for this great write-up. It is so great to be able to connect and hear a respective from someone that is living under those circumstances. My hope is that things start to get better and not in a far future we will see people being treated equally.

Yes, women have equal rights in employment and politics. In some instances, it has been found that men are paid more than women for the same job. That situation seems to be improving.

In Singapore I think legally the rights are equal. The bigger issue, of course, is the "cultural/tradition" notions – when it comes to household chores, it's still very much viewed as a woman's job, caring for babies are also still seen as women's work, etc. It's the legislation that's the issue, it's the mindset.
