Kapanlagi.com - After reaching a mutual agreement to determine the Great Women of Indonesia for the Great Women of Indonesia Award 2021 on Wednesday (21/4/2021), the jury team led by Irna Gustiawan, the editor-in-chief of Liputan6.com, explained the background and reasons for selecting the recipients of the Great Women Award 2021.

The agreement was based on examples of spirit and inspiration to all in Indonesia. However, it should be noted that the Great Women of Indonesia Award 2021 is already in its third year, organized by Liputan6.com together with KLY (Kapanlagi Youniverse).

1. In accordance with Kartini's spirit

One of the criteria for selecting the Great Women of Indonesia is in accordance with Kartini's ideas, such as their real actions and struggles with spirit.

"The struggles and real actions of the selected Great Women of Indonesia are very much in line with Kartini's thoughts and ideas that are timeless," said Irna Gustiawati.

As reported by liputan6.com, Kartini is a woman who had thoughts ahead of her time. Kartini's thoughts, ideas, and struggles will always be relevant and still remain a challenge because the issues she raised in the past are still ongoing.

"We can see that there are still many women who are victims of feudal attitudes such as child marriage, recognition issues for domestic workers as a labor group, domestic violence, and even more frightening is women who become victims of human trafficking," she said.

In addition, looking at Kartini's figure, Tjipto Mangoenkoesumo, who is also a National Hero, greatly admired Kartini's depth of thought, which had similarities and enthusiasm like himself.

On September 3, 1912, Tjipto established a discussion group called Raden Ajeng Kartini Club in Surabaya. The great writer Pramoedya Ananta Toer also admired Kartini's intellectuality and egalitarian attitude, to the point that Pramoedya wrote a book called "Call Me Kartini".
