Talking about Women and Education

With Murni Murpadila, M.A – Alumna of the Faculty of Education at Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia (UIII)

In this podcast, Murni Murpadila articulates her perspectives on women’s access to education. She tells a challenging story detailing rural women’s challenges in pursuing higher education. Factors such as economic and entrenched patriarchal societal norms act as barriers for women to pursue education. The compulsion for young women to work and marry early exacerbates the challenges they face in their married life. Therefore, Murpadila advocates for women to strive for education to improve their quality of life. She emphasizes that women do not voluntarily choose not to pursue education but struggle against the conditions that hinder their educational aspirations.
