Jakarta, the female worker is entitled to the guarantee of reproductive health because on the other hand he also assumed the function of reproduction in the family. Unfortunately very few companies that takes into account the reproductive rights of women workers.
Of the 200's of thousands of formal sector firms in Indonesia, is estimated only about 20 companies that actually provide coverage for reproductive rights of women. Among others by providing maternity leave and adequate facilities for breastfeeding.
Other guarantees should be given to female workers is on the first day of menstruation leave and the second coming months. Ketebnagakerjaan Law No. 13/2003 also requires companies to give time off before and after birth, respectively for 1.5 months.
Opportunity to give Mother's Milk (ASI) Exclusive for 6 months shall also be provided by the companies that employ women. For those who are not likely to bring her baby into the workplace, companies must provide adequate facilities to express and store breast milk.
More than that, Health Minister said Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih Health Act of 2009 requires employers to bear the entire cost of health care workers, including women. You do this by involving the workers in the insurance program, such as Social Security.
"Big companies usually manage their own health insurance, but smaller companies would be difficult to do. So I recommend all companies have Social Security," said Minister of Health in one-day seminar on Reproductive Health in the Workplace Bidakara Hotel, Jakarta, Tuesday (01/03/2011) .
Recognized by the Minister of Health, Social Security coverage or inclusiveness service is still far below other insurance such as Askes. But if all companies have Social Security, Minister of Health believes the scope of its services could be expanded and its benefits can be enjoyed also by small companies that are not likely to manage their own health insurance.
