Kampanye Women and Children First pada Bidang Pendidikan di Tiongkok oleh United Nations of Children’s Fund (UNICEF)
ABSTRACT: Education is now
becoming one of the global issues that have been discussed so much. A good
education will produce qualityhuman resources (HR), which will affect the
welfare of the community and can support the success of a country to achieve
its goals. An effort to improve the quality of education would experience a
wide range of difficult problems faced, one of which is gender injusticeor gender
inequality in education. This is experienced by China which is actually a
country with a dense population, leading to the emergence of the problem of
gender inequality in various fields, especially in education. There are several
factors behind gender inequalities in education in China, among them: the first
is the economic factor or poverty, the second is a preference or pattern of
cultural outlook for men, the third is the policy of one-child policy issued by
the Chinese government which in this case leads to violence against children
and women. Based on this, in 2004, UNICEF played its role as an international
organization that focuses on the well-being of children and women to help China
by issuing a campaign, entitled Women and Children First. Women and Children
First campaign by UNICEF aims to reduce gender inequality in various fields,
including inequality in education in China. UNICEF has conducted several ways
in the campaign Women and Children First, such as: installation of public
service ads related to gender equality in radio, television, as well as
billboards and banners and animated films on gender equality which are directly
targeting individuals and society in China.Through this campaign, UNICEF
provides information, understanding, values, and norms about the meaning of
gender equality in China.
