Surfing for Equality: The Inspiring Kartini Day Tradition
In a tranquil fishing village in West Java, a remarkable annual tradition unfolds each April: Batukaras Surfer Girls, a vibrant community, celebrate Kartini Day by gracefully navigating the waves in traditional kebayas. This unique event, initiated by Vanya Safitri in 2019, offers a powerful visual and symbolic representation of heritage, resilience, and the enduring spirit of Indonesian women, honoring the legacy of Raden Ajeng Kartini, a pivotal figure in the fight for women's rights and education in Indonesia.
