Rationale for Gender-Based Human Rights (GBHR)
📌 A gender-neutral view of human rights has obscured the awareness that women possess equal fundamental rights as men.
🛑 The existing state perspective, including that of Civil Servants (ASN), often lacks an equal perspective on male-female relations, resulting in the neglect of women's human rights.
📜 Historically, early human rights focused on "natural rights" but were interpreted within patriarchal societies as primarily "rights of man," necessitating the shift to the neutral term "human rights."

Legal Frameworks and Conventions
📜 The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) established that every human possesses inalienable rights regardless of background (religion, race, gender).
🌍 The UDHR is complemented by two key international covenants: the ICCPR (civil and political rights) and the ICESCR (economic, social, and cultural rights), collectively known as the Bill of Human Rights.
👩‍⚖️ The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), ratified by Indonesia in 1984, serves as the "bill of rights for women," demanding zero discrimination in state policies.

Principles of Substantive Equality (CEDAW)
⚖️ Substantive equality goes beyond mere rhetoric and requires assessing four conditions: equal access, equal participation/roles, equal control over involvement, and equal benefits derived from policies.
🚧 Simply involving women in processes like local planning meetings (Musrenbang) is insufficient; their voices must be heard and they must have control over budgetary outcomes for substantive equality to exist.
🛠️ States have an affirmative obligation to adopt prompt and appropriate policies to accelerate the realization of women's rights.

Key Indicators and Indonesian Context
📊 The Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA), established in 1995, outlines 12 indicators for GBHR, covering issues like poverty, health, education, violence, economic participation, and leadership.
🏛️ Institutions like the National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan) embody the need for affirmative action stemming from the GBHR perspective, even after the establishment of the general National Human Rights Commission.
⚖️ Recent Indonesian legislation, such as laws addressing women facing the law (considering background and dignity) and the Law on the Elimination of Sexual Violence (PPKS), shows the integration of gender perspectives into legal and educational institutions.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Civil Servants (ASN) must prioritize upholding the Constitution, specifically the guarantee of human rights, over purely religious or ideological convictions.
➡️ CEDAW principles, especially non-discrimination and substantive equality, must guide all state policymaking and administrative actions.
➡️ When assessing policy impact, use the four components of substantive equality (access, participation, control, benefit) rather than just noting female involvement.
