Welcoming Kartini Day, Najwa Shihab Invites Women To Celebrate Success

JAKARTA - Kartini Day commemoration is just a matter of days. Kartini's figure is still an inspiration for more than a century to all Indonesian women including presenter and journalist Najwa Shihab.

In the Thousand Kartini event, Different But Same with YouTube, Najwa Shihab tries to interpret Kartini Day celebrations. For him, Kartini Day is a moment to celebrate women'sship for Indonesian women.

"But in the sense of Kartini's day, it's a moment for us to celebrate our female life. Celebrating in the sense of making Raya bigger, let it be at the celebration," said Najwa Shihab in the Senayan area, Central Jakarta, Friday, April 19.

This was said by Najwa Shihab because she felt that women still like it was difficult to admit the success she had achieved, not without reason because this had not become commonplace in Indonesian society.

"I feel that sometimes women like to admit success, sometimes we are women even though we have reached a certain stage, if you say it, if you are praised, they say 'ah, because I am lucky, many help'," continued Najwa Shihab.

"Meanwhile, it's different for men, if you're at the celebration of every acquisition. We rarely want it because there are a few successful women who are disliked, men are successfully praised," he continued.

Therefore, Najwa Shihab hopes that the commemoration of Kartini Day every April 21 will always be a day when women can show their abilities more confidently.

"So I think the moment of Kartini's day where all women should be every day is Kartini's day where we are proud to show what we can do, what we can contribute, what we can do," he concluded.
