The International Women's Day Centenary took Muslimah of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia to the streets criticizing the celebrations on Tuesday,  8 March 2011 in Bundaran Hotel of Indonesia, Jakarta. The protesters showed the posters wrtitten "Capitalist Democracy failed to honor women",  "Gender equality = blank jargon of Capitalism", and "It's time for Women to slam Democarcy-Capitalism, Struggle for Islam honoring Women".

According to spokeswomen for Muslimah Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia, Iffah Ainur Rochmah, "It has been a hundred years the women's day celebrated, but until now, women still haven't got prosperity and honor. There are many women lives in poverty. From 34,7 million of poor people in Indonesia, 50 % of them are women. Likewise, the phenomena of sexual harrasment, pornography, and violence against women are more spreading."

Muslimah Hizbut  Tahrir Indonesia views that all of problems happened to women and they aren't overcome yet, is not because there were no movements to fight for women's rights, but it is the consequence of implementing Democracy-Capitalism. Since capitalist democracy gives the chances to exploit women. Women are supposed to be the object of pornography and sexuality.

Nevertheless, the solution offered such as gender equality, precisely worsen women's problems. It's true that in one hand could enforce women to achieve their freedom in public sphere, moreover they are given way to be the legislative members and take the governance position. However, in other hand the significant bad impact as the fruits of gender equality are crucial to count on. It costs dearly in the name of freedom and gender equality like: moral decadence, free sex, high number of divorces, broken home families, the ignorance of mother's role as the educator, and effect of lose generation. These conditions did not only happen to muslim women but also all women in the West which becomes the pioneer of freedom and gender equality.

Muslimah of Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia demands the stakeholders of the society, not to rely on Democracy-Capitalism and gender equality. Apparently, to solve the women's problems, all elements in society need to take Islam as the comprehencive solution. By implementing Islam in Khilafah "Caliphate" state, the prosperity and honor for women will be  perceived by all women in the world.
