Gender gap in Kudus still occurs primarily in female farm workers and family farmers. The example of gender inequality is that they experience a double burden, wage discrimination, and marginalization of the access to capital and information about agricultural technology. Meanwhile, the farmerâs daughters suffer discrimination because they have to quit school to help parents work at home or manage the farm. To solve this problem, women legislators express the need for special education in accordance with the environmental potential of women farmers, empowerment of women in economic and religious sector, and utilization of PKK as a means of distributing information, so they have more ability and have a better bargaining position
