President: Kartini Day a Symbol of Women’s Struggle

Tempo is reporting that President Jokowi on his official social media account, invited everyone to make Kartini Day, which fell on Sunday (21/4/24,) a symbol of women’s struggle for leadership and strength.

“Let us make Kartini Day not just a ceremony, but a symbol of women’s struggle for leadership and the power they have,” wrote Jokowi in an Instagram video caption.

The President also said that Kartini Day was a reminder of women’s long journey to finding equality. In closing, President Jokowi conveyed Happy Kartini Day to all Indonesian women.

In his Instagram upload, the President included a video of the process of making the Kartini illustration, accompanied by the song Ibu Kita Kartini created by Wage Rudolf Supratman.

Kartini Day is celebrated every April 21. This refers to the Presidential Decree of the Republic of Indonesia Number 108 of 1964, issued by the first President of the Republic of Indonesia, Soekarno, which designated Kartini as a National Independence Hero and also established Kartini’s birthday on April 21 as a big day which later became known as Kartini Day, according to Tempo.
