Khofifah Indar Parawansa (born 19 May 1965) is an Indonesian politician who served as the 14th Governor of East Java from 2019 to 2024,[1] and the 27th Minister of Social Affairs from 2014 to 2018.

She was elected chairwoman of the Muslimat [id], an Islamic women's group affiliated to Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), for the 2000–2005 term, and re-elected three times, most recently in 2016 until 2021.

[6][7][8] In October 2014, she became the 27th Minister of Social Affairs, but resigned from the position in January 2018 in order to run in the East Java gubernatorial election.

[11] In response to homophobic rhetoric from some officials and religious preachers, Khofifah on 16 January 2016 told the House of Representatives that the Social Affairs Ministry does not acknowledge the categorisation or term "LGBT" (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) but only recognises "people living with HIV/AIDS and minorities".

[12] Responding to the Jakarta November 2016 protests by Muslim groups and extremists against the city's Christian and ethnic Chinese governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, Khofifah as well as Indonesian National Armed Forces Commander Gatot Nurmantyo, Indonesian National Police Tito Karnavian and Islamic activist Yenny Wahid marched in support of interfaith unity.
