	Description:		In this episode, we discuss the upcoming Jakarta gubernatorial election happening on February 15, 2017 between three candidate pairs of Governor & Vice-Governor: Ticket #1 – Agus & Sylviana, Ticket #2 - Ahok & Djarot, and Ticket #3 - Anies & Sandiaga. We go into detail on the backgrounds of each of these individuals and focus in particular on what each candidate pair has said about what they would do with regards to women’s issues in Jakarta. We also talk about how the ways in which each campaign has talked about tackling various women’s issues are an indication of their larger perspective on leadership. None of these candidates are perfect and there is still a lot of work to be done for women’s rights in this city, but we hope that by discussing their campaign rhetoric from our perspective — as people who care deeply about women’s issues — we can shed some light and inform both voters & non-voters on what the future leaders of Jakarta are promising for women. Finally, this conversation could not have happened with the amazing work and research done by our friend and a regular guest on the podcast, Kate Walton — thank you so much Kate!
