MUHAMMADIYAH.OR.ID, YOGYAKARTA – Chairperson of the Central Board of ‘Aisyiyah, Salmah Orbayinah, emphasized that the commemoration of Mother’s Day cannot be separated from the historical struggle of Indonesian who initiated the Indonesian Women’s Congress in 1928.
According to Salmah, Mother’s Day was born out of the visionary ideas of women who fought for justice, education, and the dignity of women. These values, she said, remain highly relevant today and continue to serve as an important foundation for national development.
“However, the struggle is not yet complete. Behind the many advances of modern times, Indonesian women still face various forms of inequality, whether in the social, economic, educational, or policy spheres,” she stated on Monday (22/12).
Salmah stressed that these challenges demand a shared commitment to continue the women’s movement in a sustainable and well-organized manner. She called on all elements of the nation, particularly women’s organizations, to strengthen unity and solidarity.
“Amid these challenges, let us foster togetherness among all Indonesian women’s organizations to collectively realize a just and prosperous nation, and to ensure comprehensive well-being for Indonesian women,” she concluded.
