The event is considered as one of the important milestones of the history of the struggle of women in Indonesia. Leaders of women's organizations from different areas of a archipelago gather their thoughts and passion to strive for independence and improvement of women's lot.

All recommendations are made by the Indonesian women's movement three quarters of a century ago and we can not deny our fascination with them, and a shame to see how the resignation of our current women's movement.
 

Campaign against trafficking in women and children who are now just a trend among women's organizations, have concretely on the agenda since the women's movement 84 years ago.
 

Another important historical significance of the Women's Congress is to be the first stone that marked the rise of a new round of Indonesian women's movement at that time to organize democratically without distinction of religion, ethnicity, and social class.
 

Furthermore, Congress of Women, the days of the now celebrated a Mother's Day, it has inspired the women's movement in the realm of politics and economics to achieve a significant stage. "Merry MOTHER"
