JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) invites all parties to make Kartini Day a symbol of women's struggle for leadership and strength.

"Let's make Kartini Day not just a ceremony, but a symbol of women's struggle for their leadership and strength," Jokowi said as quoted by ANTARA, Sunday, April 21.

According to him, Kartini Day is a warning of the long journey of women in finding equality.

Jokowi congratulates Kartini Day for all Indonesian women.

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

Just to note, Kartini Day is celebrated every April 21.

This refers to the Decree of the President of the Republic of Indonesia Number 108 of 1964, issued by the first President of the Republic of Indonesia Soekarno, who appointed Kartini as the Hero of National Independence as well as set Kartini's birthday on April 21 as a big day which was later known as Kartini Day.
