In commemoration of Kartini Day, BPS Batang Regency held a solemn ceremony with all the ceremony officers consisting of female ASN. This is a form of respect for the struggle of R.A. Kartini in fighting for equality and empowerment of women in Indonesia.
This activity is a momentum to emphasize that women have an important role in all aspects of life, including in government duties and public services. On this occasion, the Head of BPS Batang Regency, Heni Djumadi, delivered the message of the Indonesian Minister of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection. Kartini is commemorated as a brave figure who went beyond her time, who from a young age spoke out about injustice against women and her nation. Kartini believes that the nation's progress will not be achieved without the progress of women. Kartini dreams of a just Indonesia, where women are free to dream, receive education and determine their path in life.
Even though it has been more than a century since Kartini wrote her thoughts, the struggle is still not over. There are still Indonesian women who face obstacles in education, employment, legal protection, and participation in decision making. With Kartini's spirit, let's continue the struggle towards equality, professionalism and progress together!
