Feminism movement with struggle for gender as its alienation movement is still a big agenda, up to now, in struggling similarity and equality of women right to men. In its early, this movement was begun with a demand of unfairness of treatment towards women and then it expanded to claim for social unfairness through the demands of right equality that they want to reach. Actually, the gender issue, or what people called "feminism", was an effort to rise women position and to omit a gap between men and women as minimal as they could, either in social-cultural or political-economy aspects, etc.
Today in the 21th century, the fight for feminism have become more expand and noticeable. Modern feminism rise not only focusing on women's rights but also embracing men attention to be more proactive and concern to their partners. What does it means exactly? Modern feminism means inviting men to have a seat at the table and opening up the conversation to include them. It  means bringing men into the fold so that women can succeed on a global scale. It also means making gender inequality as a social issue - a people problem, rather than just a female issue.
The questions remains in the society whether it is important or not to involve men towards the feminism. Recent studies by Feminist Majority Foundation showed the improvement of having men in feminism movement are helping women to gain their rights. By embracing feminist ideas men are actively advocated for female equality for various causes typically associated with feminism, including but not limited to, anti-rape and anti-violence activism, as well as challenging the sexualization of women in the media. White Ribbon Campaign, HerForShe Campaign, are several examples which show sharing the responsibility of equality does not mean women giving up ladies, but  it means women gearing up for the Fe-MEN-ist movement.
To appreciate the talent, drive, intelligence and thousands of other qualities that make women valuable, modern feminism believe in the idea of having given men the chance to see it and to celebrate it. The modern feminism by embracing the man are  talking about equality into practice what women preach and foster a collaborative energy that has men advocating for women, so is women advocating for men in society.
The Impact of Feminism in Indonesia
At the start of the 21th century, feminism remains problematic for many Indonesians, especially those who are not directly concerned with women's issues or who are not familiar with the development of feminism in Asian countries. The terms 'feminism' , 'feminist', even 'gender' were questioned my majority of Indonesians and considered as a western concept; anti-men, it perceives men to be the source of all gender inequality; it promotes the acceptance of lesbians and so forth. This was despite the fact that the principle of gender equality is embodied in article 27 of the 1945 constitution, and in other basic laws of republic of Indonesia.
However, the modern society in 21th century now, through campaign and media around the world, helps the understanding of feminism and how important is the movement to  help Indonesian women reaching for their rights. Especially in certain region in Indonesia like Maluku, Nusa Tenggara, and Sulawesi, where most of its people are still experiencing patriarchy system and separation jobs of gender caused by different society's norms and value regarding of women's 'what can do' and 'what can't be do'  tasks. The influence of having the feminism movement slowly appear when indonesian people (especially youth) become aware of the separation wall between men and women in terms of:
1. Â Education
Before there's any movement about women's right, most of Indonesian girls (age 7-18) were prohibited to pursue a higher knowledge. The reason behind this was the stereotype of people and parents that sees girls as an 'asset' that must quickly be 'sold' or in this case get married. Lack of education impact the generation after generation make the same mistake again. Feminism gains women to notice the importance of education as one of the basic needs in human rights.
2. Domestic Abuse
The increase of feminism helps the victims of domestic abuse by elevating women's education. That root cause of problem makes women weak, afraid of saying their opinion, too dependable on their husbands in the matter of economic situation; resulting womens aren't seen as an equal partner because they tend not to have any stance or  knowledge on theirself.
3. Equal Pay for Equal Work
According to the country's 2010 labor force survey found that gender wage differences remained significant and pervasive in Indonesia. Â The data shows that female workers monthly real wages were 30.8% lower than those of male workers, with the wage gap slightly wider (31.5%) in urban centers than in rural areas (29.9%). But nowadays, women in Indonesia are become aware in the bargain of their wages. Also, the government itself has made several laws include UU RI Â no. 13 year 2003 clause 86 to protect its citizen wage and freed the workers from wage discrimination including gender-based inequality on work.Â
4. Muslim Women
Where the equality of getting jobs despites of their religion believes is needed, many of muslim woman in Indonesia are still facing trouble to get a job because of their decision to wear hijab or veils. Feminism appears to eliminate those boundaries by promoting the people free-choice to express their-self  and  it shouldn't  be preventing them to achieve the same opportunity as the other applicants have.Â

Involving men in the conversation of feminism in Indonesia has grown since 2014, especially after the president President Joko Widodo has become one of the Head of States for personally champion gender equality (IMPACT Champions) and launch a nationwide HeForShe campaign. Followed in December 2015 when Four Indonesian Governors: Frans Lebu Raya (Governor of East Nusa Tenggara), I Made Mangku Pastika ( Governor of Bali), Soekarwo (Governor of East Java), and Hadi Prabowo (Governor of Central Kalimantan) signed a HeForShe pledge  in Kupang City,  and stated their commitment to promote, fulfill and protect women and children's rights. The actions made the justification on how important the gender equality is in Indonesia, and the role of men is highly needed to support the gender equality as long as feminism.
In conclusion, the modern concept and act of feminism in the latest era is not only women-centered. Instead, the feminist need their partner to cooperate and to respect each other to pursue the same opportunity. This movement is also impacts Indonesia in a way spreading awareness of gap opportunities that Indonesian women are facing in several condition such as education, domestic abuse, wage inequity, and muslim women discrimination. Finally, referring to the past action of Indonesia's president and governors, we can say that the modern concept of embracing women's right through man has become a widespread and growing movement in Indonesia.
