You must be familiar with Raden Ajeng Kartini, a great woman who played a significant role in advancing and empowering Indonesian women. Her inspirational figure has succeeded in encouraging many women to achieve their dreams, including in financial matters.
If we mention Kartini, we will miss the opportunity to recognize the capabilities of today's modern women who excel in multitasking, juggling careers with household responsibilities, and raising children.
Unfortunately, even though many women have succeeded in empowering themselves with real work and steps, women's financial literacy is still low. That's why, as modern Kartini, we must be financially literate and good at managing finances, FinTERZ.
Modern Kartini must be financially literate and intelligent in managing finances so that finances are more focused and the money held stays. Financially savvy, preventing us from online loan fraud (pinjol) to 'bogus' investments.
In commemoration of Kartini Day, MinETIKS invites all Indonesian women to celebrate by joining the #KartiniDay: Chase Your Dreams with Financial Independence. You can visit FINETIKS Instagram directly or click here.
MinETIKS also managed to collect several opinions from the FINETIKS team about 'why women today need to be financially literate, especially if we see women as modern Kartini figures' and here is a collection of answers from the FINETIKS team:
"If you look at it now, times have changed, including the view that women should be housewives. "Women can also have a career and have power in family finances," said Giovan Cipta.
"Today's women can dismantle stereotypes and social standards, you know. Financial literacy can make women more confident and have more freedom.
As modern Kartini, we are responsible for ourselves, not others," Angela Jonan says.
"If we as women understand finances, not only will the quality of life improve, but it will also bring good benefits to the family. "We can also be financial teachers for the next generation," said Paula Kristi.
"Financial literacy or financial responsibility belongs to the individual. So every individual must be able to sustain themselves financially without looking at and not depending on a particular gender," adds Deti Latifah.
One of the FINETIKS team, Annisa Ayu, also gave an opinion that was no less interesting: " Financially literate women not only enrich themselves but also benefit other women and society."
Annisa believes that financial literacy opens up more choices in living life, including making the right decisions, planning your personal and family future, and even protecting yourself from financial 'exploitation'.

Having entered the entertainment world until she finally shocked the media with her high academic achievements and social spirit, Cinta Laura is a public figure who lives a simple life.
Regarding shopping and finances, Cinta Laura prioritizes quality and comfort rather than following trends. MinETIKS also has to learn from the modern Kartini figure Cinta Laura.
FinTERZ knows about Tesla cars, right? In 2001, Elon Musk's company launched the full self-driving beta version feature.
So, in working on this project, Tesla had six Autopilot Software Engineers, and Moorissa was the only woman on the team. Even more impressive is that Moorissa, a Data Scientist, also manages car software. Very cool, huh?
