The emancipation of women has been championed by Raden Ajeng Kartini since 1911 through her book, *Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang* (Out of Darkness, Comes Light).

Kartini was a Javanese noblewoman born in Jepara on April 21, 1879. She attended the Europeesche Lagere School (ELS), a school exclusively for Dutch people and wealthy or noble Javanese. Armed with this education, Kartini diligently fought for women's rights in her time.

Kartini's struggle should be continued by Indonesian women, who now have relatively equal rights with men in many fields, including in the central and regional parliaments (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat/DPR and Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah/DPRD).

A prime example is Minahasa Regency, which has the highest percentage of female parliamentary involvement at 48.57%, exceeding all other regencies/cities.

Currently, the Minahasa Regency DPRD consists of 35 members, 17 of whom are women.

The regencies/cities with the next highest percentage of female parliamentary involvement are Gunung Mas Regency (48%), followed by Barito Selatan Regency, Mahakam Ulu Regency, Manado City, Tomohon City, and Kolaka Timur City (each at 40%).

Aceh Tamiang Regency, Tanjung Pinang City, and Kediri City also have a significant percentage of female DPRD members at 36.67%.
