Women and men are an integral part of the nation's entity, and all rights including political rights are guaranteed by the Constitution. When women and men have equal opportunities to be active in various fields and make decisions, the policies that emerge are representative and inclusive, especially decisions to achieve better village development. The struggle of women to be heard, considered, and to occupy important positions is still weak so there are few women in the village involved in making policies or decisions. Women must be encouraged to be enthusiastic, confident, not ashamed and afraid, and active women. The women in Tanatuku village, Nggaha Ori Angu district, East Sumba regency face such problems.

From this condition, the Multiplication of Stube-HEMAT in Sumba continues to voice women's rights and the potency of women's leadership. Taking place in Waiwakih, Elisabeth as a companion provided views and hopes of women by opening insights about the importance of women leaders (30/3/2023). To be leaders, women must be strong, have the ability to take care of themselves, take care of the household, and other bigger things. In general, successful female leaders are those who are also successful to manage their households. One of the participants in the discussion, Lodiana Hembir, commented, “Nowadays, women's sense of concern and willingness to sit together to discuss something important is decreasing. Not only matters in the village, but many women are also reluctant to get involved in church service.” Meanwhile, another participant, Yuningsih, thought the reason why women in the village were mostly disinterested in such activities was feeling unconsidered, having no speaking skills, and limited experience in an organization.

Elisabeth said, "I hope that the women who are present now, if you want to be qualified women, you have to keep on learning, be role models, passionate about building togetherness, so that one women's organization may be formed in Waiwakih, Tanatuku." Elisabeth also emphasized several points of being a qualified woman, such as being wise to control her ego so that woman does not flow away easily, showing mature characters, not being easily swayed by what people say, being able to see everything thoroughly with various perspectives, and being able to communicate well. The ability to communicate is the main skill for a female leader to interact, convey information, and build relationships so that everything remains conducive and running well.

The discussion was exciting, the participants hoped that more and more women would join the women's committee and study together. They are very enthusiastic how to grow community and bring a positive impact for their family and surroundings, like their female friends in the Kawara Panamung weaving community. Women, sure, you can! ***
