JAKARTA - Commemoration of Kartini Day is not only about remembering Raden Ajeng Kartini's struggle in fighting for women's right to education, but also a reflection moment to encourage the role of women today in creating qualified families and educating superior future generations.
Deputy Minister of Family Development/Deputy Head of BKKBN, Ratu Ayu Isyana Bagoes Oka, said that Kartini's current fighting spirit can be realized in the form of women's role in educating children who are intelligent, healthy, and have character towards the 2045 Golden Generation.
"Everyone knows how extraordinary RA Kartini's struggle at that time was to fight for the right to education for women. Now, the struggle is continued with how women can educate their children to become qualified individuals," said Isyana in an activity in Binjai City, North Sumatra, Monday.

However, according to Isyana, the role of a father is no less important. Full support from a husband is needed to build a harmonious family and create an ideal environment for children's growth and development.
