This includes the International Law, a powerful reference for teaching material in legal education used to promote humanity. Presently, globalization of law is marked in the International Law-making process by delegates from various countries, which spreads to State parties through ratifcation with a signifcant impact on legal reform. A number of senior female professors have initiated the socialization and implementation ofthe Convention on the Elimination ofAll Forms ofDiscrimination against Women (CEDAW Convention). This was conducted through the ratification of Law No. 7 of 1984, which has been continued by the younger scholars. The establishment of the Convention Watch Working Group of Universitas Indonesia is a fame of light for academics to accomplish their duties to educate and literate law students, legal practitioners, law enforcers, and the wider communities. The process ofpromoting the CEDAW Convention and strengthening gender equality has been spread to many universities in Indonesia within 30 years, mainly through the program of Engendering Faculties of Law's Curriculum. Presently, no fewer than 75 law faculties in Indonesia provide a lecture on Gender and Law, with hundreds of law lecturers actively participating in various activities through interdisciplinary collaboration with women's movement and civil society ranging from the local, national, and regional levels. The old history ofthe Indonesian women's movement before the nation's independence was carried out by young female law academics. This category of people played important roles in enforcing democracy and justice mainly for the underserved communities.
