Every year, we celebrate Mother\'s Day, but every year, a misconception about Mother\'s Day keep coming up. Generally, people know about the Youth Pledge event, but they do not understand Mother\'s Day, even though the two are closely related.

Has our historical narrative lost the history of women\'s movements to the extent that we don\'t study them at school and are alienated from them? The first Women\'s Congress, held on 22 December 1928 in Yogyakarta, is what we commemorate. Not the Mothers\' Day commemoration as in western society that glorifies mothers’ domestic role.
