1945 Constitution
, even 80 years old on Monday (18/8).The constitution that Palu knocked on August 18, 1945 was the foundation of Indonesia into a country.
One of the crucial matters in the constitution is ‘equality or equality in law’ contained in Article 27 of the 1945 Constitution.

As a member of the Constitution Formulation Committee, Maria stressed the importance of legal equality for all people, both male and female.
He even proposed that the protection of human rights be listed in more detail in the constitution.Although the proposal was rejected in the BPUPKI meeting, the idea of equality before the law was finally accepted and became part of Article 27 of the 1945 Constitution consisting of three verses.
For this contribution, Komnas HAM in 2014 bestowed the award of Human Rights to Maria Ulfah, along with activist Munir Said Talib.
