In celebration of the 144th Kartini Day, Dharma Wanita Universitas Jenderal Soedirman (Unsoed) has chosen the theme “Synergy for Empowered Women.” This theme pays tribute to R.A. Kartini’s legacy in advancing women’s emancipation in Indonesia and serves as an invitation to foster greater collaboration among women. The goal is to promote independence and empowerment across various sectors of life.
The activity was attended by the Rector, Vice Rectors, Deans, and the entire Unsoed academic community. It took place on Tuesday, April 22, 2025, starting at 7:00 AM and concluding at the Hall of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences. The event featured a seminar themed “Building Women’s Independence to Realize a Society Without Violence,” a batik cloth delivery competition, and a fashion show as a cultural demonstration, which involved participants from all faculties and units.
The Synergy of Empowered Women emphasizes the importance of collaboration and support among women in addressing contemporary challenges. This year’s Kartini Day commemoration encourages all members of society, especially women, to become more actively involved in development across education, the economy, and social issues. By continuing to build collective strength through synergy, women can become more empowered and independent, allowing them to make significant contributions to the nation’s progress.
In his speech, the Rector of Unsoed emphasized that the commemoration of Kartini Day serves as a vital opportunity to inspire the spirit of women both at Unsoed and in society as a whole. He stated, “Kartini taught us that the education and empowerment of women are key to achieving national progress. Through synergy and collaboration, women can not only act as agents of change but also make a significant positive impact in all areas of life.”
“Through this activity, we aim to inspire women to further develop their skills, collaborate, and realize their fullest potential for mutual progress. The commemoration of Kartini Day not only pays tribute to the hero of emancipation but also serves as a reminder for us to strive together toward the welfare of our nation,” said Susiati Akhmad Sodiq.
