As we know, in Indonesia itself, Mother's Day is celebrated every December 22. The history of Mother's Day began with the struggle of Anna Jarvis in the United States in the early 20th century. Her efforts paid off with Mother's Day recognized as a national holiday in 1914, adopted by many countries, including Indonesia.

In Indonesia, the celebration of Mother's Day on December 22 honors R.A. Kartini, a freedom fighter and advocate for women's education. This celebration includes special activities, giving gifts, expressing gratitude, and appreciation for active mothers. Mother's Day reminds us of the extraordinary value of a mother's role.

This celebration expresses gratitude and love, honors the sacrifice and affection of mothers, and nurtures awareness of the valuable role of mothers in shaping a better future. The commemoration of Mother's Day in Indonesia is generally greeted with various special activities.

These activities usually involve giving gifts, expressing gratitude, as well as celebrations in various educational institutions and communities. In addition, many companies and governments give awards to mothers who have played an active role in achieving family success and well-being.

In addition, December 22 is also a commemoration of the Indonesian Women's Congress in 1928. This congress was a historic milestone in the struggle for women's rights in Indonesia. The congress was initiated by female fighters who fought for political, social, and economic rights.

After the congress, the spirit of Indonesian women grew, triggering the emergence of various women's organizations in various regions. This history reminds us of the importance of women's role in nation-building, inspiring the next generation to continue fighting for gender equality.

It turns out that Mother's Day and Mother's Day are two different celebrations, KLovers. Yes, the first difference can be seen in the date of the celebration, where Mother's Day is usually celebrated in Indonesia every December 22nd, while Mother's Day is usually celebrated in May in Western countries such as the United States and Canada.

Then, the next difference is that Mother's Day originated from the feminist movement that began in the late 19th century, with the aim of raising awareness of the role of mothers in society. Meanwhile, Mother's Day originated from individual initiatives who wanted to honor their mothers personally.

In Indonesian culture, Mother's Day is commemorated to commemorate the first conference of the Indonesian women's organization in 1928. The conference was led by a figure in the Indonesian women's movement, R.A. Kartini. Meanwhile, in the United States and Canada, Mother's Day is celebrated as a way to honor mothers who have made contributions to their children's lives.

Although Mother's Day and Mother's Day may have different purposes, they have a more important similarity: to honor and appreciate the role of mothers in our lives. Both celebrations allow us to express our gratitude and love to our mothers.
