| dc.description.abstract | The abilities to read, to write, and to count are commonly known as the basic meaning of literacy.
This paper aims to describe the meaning of literacy for Indonesian women in wider scopes. By
utilizing descriptive study, the article uses secondary data of my research which were received
from literature and scientific journals. In addition, the data were analysed by reviewing and comparing
the
data
based
on
the
current
situation
and
theories.
At
the
end,
the
research
results
reveal
that;
1).
the
numbers
of
illiterate
women
in
Indonesia
caused
by
more
Indonesian
women
dropping
out from school in secondary school. 2). being literate for women is a human right 3). the
coordination between society, NGOs, and some ministries are needed in creating literate Indonesian women; this task cannot be given to the ministry of education only. The suggestion also
offered that for further research, investigating the meaning of literacies for women by conducting
research in the field of study will be much better. | in_ID |
