The power of women powering up in Indonesia

It’s always a wonder how stories and lived realities shape one’s perception about power and its impact on people’s lives... … on women’s lives. Meeting the women “widows” of PEKKA in Indonesia was a year-long curiosity of mine, and this was fueled by the many stories I’ve heard from colleagues of the great Yayasan PEKKA, a Power Up! consortium member which work is focused on empowering women head of household in 27 provinces in Indonesia. Celebrating PEKKA’s 22nd anniversary in person in Jakarta, I’ve been privileged to witness and experience power from within in all its greatness and diversity. Women powering up with each other does change and transform lives.
