Indonesia

Indonesian women started to venture into being part of the workforce in the ’70s when international investors came to the island nation. Since then, they have been essential in uplifting their country’s economy. They also have prominent political participation, as Megawati Sukarnoputri, a female politician, has served as the country’s President.

Indonesian women’s attractiveness has tall claims, which are well-supported by the likes of Maria Harfanti, who was the second runner-up in 2015’s Miss World pageant. They have a remarkable record at the Miss Universe pageants. Participants from Indonesia have routinely made it to the semi-finalists since 2013 (except in 2017 and 2021).
