JAKARTA (Jakarta Post/ANN): Activists and a state-affiliated women's rights agency have spoken out against “embedded sexism” in the government and say an ongoing controversy over the website names of regional administration institutions demonstrates the prevalence of sexism in the public sector.
Regional administration institutions have been in the spotlight in the past week amid reports that they are using sexually inappropriate names for the websites of their programs. Many of the websites use slang for the female reproductive system or similar sexual innuendo for their acronyms, such as sipepek and siska ku intip.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
