IBCWE has several campaign activities throughout the year, such as International Women's Day, National Father's Day, 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, and National Women's Day.
International Women's Day
In 1977, International Women's Day was inaugurated as an annual celebration by the United Nations to fight for women's rights and promote world peace.
Since 2018, IBCWE has participated in celebrating International Women's Day to speak out and fight for women's rights, especially in the workplace. The first celebration, IBCWE collaborated with UN Women to hold a non-competitive running activity titled HeForShe Run 2018 as a form of support for achieving gender equality.
In 2019, IBCWE collaborated with Femina to hold a Focus Group Discussion entitled Equality Drives Innovation to strengthen Accenture Indonesia's findings with the same title.
Due to COVID-19, in 2020, IBCWE canceled a non-competitive run titled HeForShe Run 2020.
In 2021, IBCWE in collaboration with JLL Indonesia, Bukalapak, Sintesa Group, and PT HM Sampoerna Tbk held an online Focus Group Discussion entitled Challenge Inequity, Choose Inclusion.
National Father's Day
Quoted from Harian Kompas, October 10, 2006, the idea of National Father's Day came from the Association of the Sons of the Motherland of Solo. At that time, it was called Hari Bapak Nasional. The Declaration of National Father's Day was made on November 12, 2006, in Solo City, Central Java, Indonesia. Father's Day is considered necessary because fathers are part of the family whose role should not be underestimated.
IBCWE also sees that the father's role in the household and parenting is one of the missions in realizing gender equality. Equal roles and parenting between fathers and mothers in the family allow children to have more diverse career choices, and support mothers to remain in the workforce.
In 2018, IBCWE in collaboration with Yayasan Pulih held a talk show entitled Ayah Percaya Kamu Bisa.
In 2019, IBCWE in collaboration with Danone Indonesia held a talk show entitled Bangga Menjadi Ayah Rumah Tangga.
In 2020, IBCWE in collaboration with Danone Indonesia held a webinar entitled Millennial Parenting: Equal Parenting.
In 2021, IBCWE in collaboration with Danone Indonesia held a webinar entitled Daddy's Wishes: My Daughter to Become a Future Leader.
This is an international campaign to promote the elimination of violence against women worldwide. In Indonesia, Komnas Perempuan is the initiator of this activity. Every year, this activity lasts from November 25 (The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women) to December 10 (International Human Rights Day).
IBCWE participates in supporting this movement through several activities, such as:
In 2019, IBCWE together with PT. Transportation Jakarta (Transjakarta), PT. BlueBird Tbk, Never Okay Project, and Berakar Komunikasi, declared this campaign in the form of 16 Women's Signs with the theme of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace. Then this sign was installed on 4 pink buses for women-owned by Transjakarta consistently for 16 days and at selected Transjakarta bus stops.
In 2021, IBCWE in collaboration with Female in Action, a Social Enterprise that oversees the empowerment and movement of millennial women, voiced this campaign through an Instagram Live entitled How Dangerous Is Being a Bystander in Cases of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace?
National Women’s Day
Women’s Day in Indonesia is determined on December 22 every year. This was related to the holding of the First Indonesian Women's Congress from 22 until 25 December 1928 in Yogyakarta. This congress was attended by more than 600 women from various backgrounds to fight for women's rights.
But over time, the meaning shifted to a day of respect for the services of mothers or wives who have struggled to do domestic work and take care of the family. On December 22, 2019, the government, organizations, and activists wanted to restore the meaning of the women's movement on Mother's Day by raising various issues, including education, politics, business, and health.
IBCWE participates in restoring the meaning of the women's movement through various activities, such as:
In 2020, IBCWE collaborated with the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (KPPPA) to hold a webinar entitled No More Dilemma for Working Women
In 2021, IBCWE in collaboration with PT Pertamina (Persero) Tbk held a webinar entitled Enough with Business Case start with Sponsorship: Advancing Women into Leadership.
