Family planning (KB) cadres in Mertasinga village, Gunungjati district, Cirebon, socializing with locals recently. They spoke about the importance of following the family planning program so the locals can have a healthy, prosperous family which prioritizes education so that young-age marriages do not occur.

Amid all the advancements achieved by women, commemorating the birthday of Kartini on every April 21 is getting more relevant.

It is more relevant because the daughter of the Jepara regent promoted critical thinking about the situation of the nation and of women, especially Javanese women.
