us from losing our way in facing today’s challenges.

Woman have a strong basis for exercising their rights and obligations. The
simplest example that you often find in your daily life is that woman also play a role in
bringing in income for the family. This can not be separated from the support of
husband who have the same passion in realizing aquality as Kartini’s idea. There are so
many Indonesian Kartinis today with professions that were once only owned by man, for
example Kartini-Kartini who have careers in the forefront of government, police, and
armed forces, as well as the mining industry, professional sportsmen, and others.
