Ladies and Gentlemen
The title of my speech is "Kartini Day".
We  all  know  every  year,  on  21 st  April,  Indonesian  people  always  celebrate  Kartini
Day. The commemoration of Kartini Day is based on the life story of RA Kartini who is
widely   regarded   as   a   national   Indonesian   heroine   in   the   women's   rights   and
emancipation.
RA Kartini was born on 21 st April, 1879 in Jepara, Central Java. Her father, Raden Mas
Sosroningrat, was the chief of Jepara Regency. At the time, Java was still a part of Dutch
Colonies. Until the late 19 th century and early 20  th century, Indonesian women did not
have  the  equal  rights  as  men  obtained.  Women  could  not  get  higher  education.  They
were  also  forbidden  to  choose  their  ways  of  life,  such  as  expressing  ideas  or  opinion
and choosing husband.
Brothers and Sisters
At the time, Javanese women could not attend school. Fortunately, because Kartini was
born  into  a  family  with  a  strong intellectual tradition,  she was then  allowed  to  attend
school until she was 12 years old. She learned much, including Dutch Language. After
she turned 12 years old she was 'secluded' at home, a common practice among Javanese
nobility,  to  prepare  young  girls  for  their  marriage.  During  seclusion,  girls  were  not
allowed  to  leave  their  parents'  house  until  they  were  married.  Kartini  continued  to
educate  herself  on  her  own.  Because  Kartini  could  speak  Dutch,  she  acquired  several
Dutch  pen  friends.  One  of them,  a  girl  by  the  name  of  Rosa  Abendanon,  became  her
very close friend. Kartini read many kinds of books, newspapers and magazines about
feminist  thinking.  They  inspired  and  supported  Kartini  to  improve  the  conditions  of
Javanese women who had a very low social status.

The letters from kartini to actually her friends, particularly rosa abendanon, were in the main concerning
her views on your social conditions prevailing at this point, significantly the condition of
native indonesian women. she protested the tendency of javanese culture to actually impose
obstacles for your own development of girls. she depicted the sufferings of javanese
women fettered by tradition, unable to actually study, secluded, and needs to be trained in order to
get involved in polygamous marriages with men they actually dont grasp.
Seven years later after kartini died, her letters were compiled and printed towards a book
in 1912. the instructions was titled : door duisternis tot licht or referred to as away from dark
comes lightweight ( habis gelap terbitlah terang ).
The publication of kartini's letters attracted nice interest within the whole netherlands and
kartini's ideas began to actually replace the method the dutch viewed native women in java. her
ideas conjointly provided inspiration for outstanding figures within the whole fight for independence,
particularly womens movements.
Kartini's issues were not within the whole space on your emancipation of girls, but in addition the
issues of her society. kartini saw that the struggle for girls to get their
freedom, autonomy and legal equality was only half associated with a wider movement.
To actually appreciate kartini's ideas for your own womens movement, in 1964, president sukarno
declared kartini's birth date, 21 april, as kartini day - an indonesian national holiday
that we celebrate it every year till currently.

Ladies and Gentlemen
We  always  celebrate  Kartini  Day  every  year.  The  question  is,  what  should  we  do  in
celebrating it?
In  my  opinion,  celebrating  Kartini Day  does  not only  mean  we must  wear  traditional
clothes.    The  most  important  thing  is  we  are  reminded  about  her  struggle  against
discrimination towards women. Kartini Day also means that we cannot take for granted
the idea of men and women equality.  There are, however, natural differences between
women and men. Kartini's ideas should become the inspiration for women to get equal
rights as men obtained, in education and achievement.
Ladies and Gentlemen
Brothers, Sisters and all the Audiences
I think that's all my speech. I hope it will be useful for us, and I apologize if there are
mistakes in my speech. Finally, I would like to say: "Happy Kartini Day" Hopefully
Indonesian women will always be successful in education, achievement and lifes.
Thank your very much for your attention.
Wassalamu'alaikum Wr. Wb.
