JAKARTA - The General Chairperson of the National Women's DPP, Nihayatul Wafiroh, emphasized the importance of understanding digital literacy for women.

He conveyed this in an online discussion entitled "Let's Learn Digital Literacy" in commemoration of Kartini Day which falls today.

"Violence in the digital world today is extraordinary. And we want to equip all women to start literate about digital literacy," said Nihayatul, Monday, April 21.

The deputy chairman of Commission IX of the DPR RI assessed that literacy is needed for women so that they avoid various modes of violence in the digital world.

"Not only using social media just to get information, but also to provide information and fortify ourselves," said Nihayatul.

Kartini Day, according to him, is closely related to literacy. Indonesian women should be grateful for being able to learn literacy from Kartini, where she has set an example by breaking down extraordinary traditions, one of which is the tradition of reading.

"I hope that through this activity all female national cadres as well as Indonesian women in general can get adequate information so that we can be more literate in the problems that befell women," said the woman who is familiarly called Ninik.

Continuing, digital literacy activist Rahma Arifa encourages National Women to get input from figures outside of politics so that their political struggle rate is more focused and measurable.

According to Rara, literacy plays an important role for every individual, especially women. Digital literacy must start from non-digital literacy. For example, digital violence, of course, you will know that it is violence after understanding what violence is," explained Rahma.
