However, the culture is still not favorable, causing women to work and experience a double burden. Thus, this creates gender injustice. Meanwhile, for women who have not been released or bound by culture, they are still hindered from being able to work, of course, by various factors behind it such as economic conditions, education and so on. Therefore, there are several aspects of reducing discrimination or double burden in the household. First, it is important to realize that work is not only done by men. Second, there is an agreement between husband and wife in dividing daily roles and duties, being responsible for their respective roles and duties so that there is no discrimination, and maintaining mutual commitment. Third, establish women's protection organizations in rural areas, urban areas and so on. Fourth, socialize the importance of equality so that injustice does not occur. With prevention efforts, it is hoped that it can make the perpetrators aware. so that people can realize harmony and prosperity in the household.
