Ida Fauziyah (born 17 July 1969)[1] is an Indonesian politician who currently serves as Member of the House of Representatives for Jakarta II since 2024. She previously served as Minister of Manpower in the 41st Cabinet of Indonesia from 2019 to 2024.[2] She is a member of the National Awakening Party.
Political career
[edit]Fauziyah worked as a high school teacher before serving as a lawmaker in parliament from 1999 to 2018.[3] She also served as leader of the women’s branch of the Nahdlatul Ulama, Indonesia’s biggest Muslim group.[4]
Ahead of the 2019 general election, Fauziyah became part of Joko Widodo’s parliamentary campaign in charge of gathering women’s votes.[5]
During her time in government, Fauziyah notably led efforts to lift a temporary freeze on sending its migrant workers to Malaysia in 2022, after both countries ironed out concerns surrounding workers' rights.[6]
Since 2023, Fauziyah has been a member of the United Nations High-Level Panel on the Teaching Profession, co-chaired by Kersti Kaljulaid and Paula-Mae Weekes.[7]
