Hundreds of women with brooms join protests as Indonesia leader flies to China

Hundreds of women carrying brooms joined protests in Indonesia on Wednesday as the country's leader prepared to fly to China for the Asian Summit. The women, carrying brooms aloft, descended on the capital city of Jakarta to express their dissatisfaction with the government's failure to address domestic issues ranging from economic instability to climate change. The leaderless movement gained momentum through social media platforms, with women of all ages demanding urgent action.
