Opportunity to End Inequality
Mother’s Day was an opportunity to acknowledge the struggle of Indonesian women and to further promote their determination to participate in policymaking and national development.
YOGYAKARTA, KOMPAS — Mother's Day is the right opportunity to acknowledge women’s important role in development. At the same time, it also boosts the spirit of women to speak up, to show their potential, and to be empowered to build equality and lead a life of prosperity.
"This special moment must awaken the spirit of women to be bolder in speaking out and showing their potential, as well as being more innovative in contributing to the progress of the nation," First Lady Iriana Joko Widodo said during a virtual commemoration of Mother’s Day 2021 on Wednesday (22/12/2021).
