Sembilan Perempuan Papua Terima Penghargaan dalam rangka Hari Kartini 2023

JAYAPURA - Sembilan perempuan di Bumi Cenderawasih menerima penghargaan dari Organisasi Aksi Solidaritas Era (OASE) Kabinet Indonesia Maju dalam rangka memperingati Hari Kartini ke 145 Tahun, Jumat (26/5/2023).

Mereka menjadi bagian dari 514 perempuan di Indonesia yang menerima penghargaan karena dianggap berjasa dan berprestasi sebagai perempuan di masing-masing bidangnya.

“Pemberian penghargaan juga karena sembilan perempuan Papua dianggap inspiratif di bidangnya,” terang Plh Gubernur Papua Muhammad Ridwan Rumasukun, di sela-sela kegiatan tersebut. 

Gubernur Ridwan katakan perjuangan Raden Ajeng Kartini dalam menyuarakan hak-hak perempuan agar menjadi lebih baik di masa yang akan datang, telah kita rasakan pada saat ini.

Dimana sebagai wujud kepedulian, pemerintah  saat ini terus mendorong dan memotivasi perempuan agar berperan aktif dan mengabdi kepada masyarakat dan turut terlibat dalam pelaksanaan pembangunan.

“Salah satunya melalui pemberian penghargaaan kepada para perempuan hebat berjasa dan berprestasi diseluruh Indonesia, termasuk di Provinsi Papua. Sehingga saya mengucapkan terima kasih atas dukungan dan mendorong penghargaan yang diberikan oleh Organisasi Aksi Solidaritas Era Kabinet Indonesia Maju kepada sembilan perempuan berjasa dan berprestasi di Provinsi Papua.”

“Terimakasih pula kami sampaikan kepada para pejuang perempuan di bidang masing-masing, yaitu kesehatan, sosial budaya, lingkungan hidup, pertanian, pendidikan, yang selama ini telah dilakukan di wilayah dan daerahnya,” tegasnya.

Sementara Gubernur juga meminta semua perempuan di Papua memaknai penggalan lirik “sungguhbesarcita-citanya bagi Indonesia,” yang merupakan penggalan lirik lagu ciptaan W.R. Soepratman.

Penggalan lirik ini dinilai sangat berarti karena memiliki makna yang dalam untuk menggambarkan sosok Putri Indonesia Raden Adjeng Kartini.

“Yang pada akhirnya menjadi ibu bagi kaum perempuan yang ada di Indonesia. Yang artinya cita-citanya sungguh mulia untuk kemajuan para perempuan di Indonesia, yang pada waktu itu hak-hak kaum perempuan masih kerap direndahkan bahkan juga sampai dilupakan,” tandas dia. ***

JAYAPURA - Nine Papuan women received awards from the Era Solidarity Action Organization (OASE) of the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet in commemoration of the 145th Kartini Day, Friday (26/5/2023). 

They are part of 514 women in Indonesia who received awards because they were considered meritorious and outstanding as women in their respective fields.

"The award is also given because nine Papuan women are considered inspirational in their fields," explained Papua Acting Governor Muhammad Ridwan Rumasukun, on the sidelines of the activity.

Governor Ridwan said Raden Ajeng Kartini's struggle in bringing women's rights to be better in the future, has been felt at this time.

As a form of concern, the current government continues to encourage and motivate women to play an active role to serve the community and be involved in the implementation of development.

"One of them is through giving awards to great women with merit and achievements throughout Indonesia, including in Papua Province. So I thank you for the support and encouragement of the award given by the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet Era Solidarity Action Organization to nine meritorious and outstanding women in Papua Province."

"We also express our gratitude to women fighters in their respective fields, namely health, socio-culture, environment, agriculture, and education, which have been carried out in their regions," he said.

Meanwhile, the Governor also asked all women in Papua to interpret the lyrics "Really big ideals for Indonesia," which is a fragment of the lyrics of a song written by W.R. Soepratman.

This piece of lyrics has a deep meaning to describe the figure of Indonesian Princess Raden Adjeng Kartini.

''In the end, she became a mother for women in Indonesia. It means that her ideals are really noble for the progress of women in Indonesia, which at that time women's rights were still often degraded and even forgotten," he said. ***
