Today is Indonesian "Kartini Day," commemorating Kartini, a pioneer of the Indonesian women's rights movement, and is an important day for conveying appreciation and respect for women's contributions; the Hualien County Service Station of the Immigration Agency organized a multicultural activity, hoping to promote ethnic understanding and cultural exchange.
The Northern Region Affairs Corps Hualien County Service Station of the Immigration Agency stated that April 21st is Kartini Day (Hari Kartini), similar to Women's Day in Taiwan. On this day, schools and agencies across Indonesia often hold celebratory activities, with women wearing traditional attire to work or school, demonstrating the importance placed on women's roles and cultural heritage.
Kartini not only dedicated herself to promoting women's right to education but also demonstrated an international vision in the late 19th century. In 1898, she submitted a batik research manuscript to the Dutch Exposition, introducing Indonesian traditional craftsmanship to the world. This gradually drew international attention to batik culture and made batik a significant cultural element symbolizing women's delicate and resilient spirit.
The Hualien County Service Station specially invited Indonesian new resident Zhang Meijun to lead the public in experiencing traditional Indonesian batik. Through hands-on cultural exchange, they paid tribute to the female new residents and migrant workers who silently contribute to their families and workplaces after coming from afar.
Zhang Meijun not only shared the cultural background of Kartini Day but also introduced the long history of Indonesian batik craftsmanship. In 2009, UNESCO inscribed it on the "Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity," making it an important cultural symbol of Indonesia. During the event, participants experienced hand-painting batik, from composition and waxing to dyeing, gradually completing their own unique pieces.
The Hualien County Service Station stated that many female new residents and migrant workers leave their homeland to work hard in Taiwan, demonstrating resilience and perseverance in family care, the workplace, and cultural exchange, making significant contributions to Taiwanese society. By celebrating Indonesian Kartini Day and hand-painting traditional batik, the public can experience the delicate craftsmanship and resilient strength that has been passed down for centuries, further understand the cultural connotations of different countries, and express gratitude and respect to female new residents and migrant workers, hoping to jointly create a friendly society that is diverse and inclusive.
