The unavailability of lactation rooms, the availability of special waiting rooms for children in the workplace, and the implementation of curfews for female workers are the main focus, and this certainly supports SDS5, namely Gender Equality. Thus, workplaces must provide facilities and infrastructure that take into account the principles of gender equality and the best interests of children. The provision of gender-responsive facilities and infrastructure is intended to increase work productivity and pay attention to the best interests and growth and development processes of children. Apart from fulfilling and protecting the rights of women and children, this includes fulfilling the rights and protection of people with disabilities and the elderly.

Therefore, to accelerate this fulfilment, the Government should be able to utilize old, habitable buildings to fulfil work facilities with a gender perspective.
