Women do not have equal rights in Indonesia. 85+% of girls there (and basically all Muslim girls) are subjected to FGM. Sharia courts, which are treated as alternative to secular courts, treat Womens' evidence as worth less than a man's. Half of Indonesian muslims think that Sharia should apply to all citizens, whether they're Muslims or not. 48% in that Pew poll were in favour of stoning people for adultery.

The notion that Indonesia is some counter-example is ludicrous.
