In 1909, when the first International Women\u2019s Day was observed, women could not vote or hold public office. While the struggle for gender equality and women\u2019s empowerment continues to this day, we have come a long way. At Green School, we believe that schools are as much spaces for teaching and learning, as for thinking critically and taking action. From an early age, students are encouraged to reflect, question<\/span><\/i> and make an impact now<\/span><\/i>. One of the areas where our community seeks to make impact now, is in making our society more equitable and re-imagining a better world for our women and girls \u2026 be it through our unique approach to Valentine’s Day, which is observed as Violence Against Women Day, or through our Quests and <\/span><\/i>Greenstone programs<\/span><\/i>, which are capstone projects for Middle and High School respectively where a number of projects focus on this very mission.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n On this International Women\u2019s Day, join us in celebrating four Indonesian women in our community, who epitomize the mission of making an impact, who make themselves heard, and who continue to inspire us every day.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”29181,29182,29180″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text admin_label=”Eka” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ibu Putu Eka Sri Arianstini <\/span>is the embodiment of female empowerment.

As women we should nurture our families, serve our communities and create opportunities as well as support other women in the professional arena. I am driven by a belief in the power of action and belief in an individual’s ability to influence social change.<\/span><\/i>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”29177,29178,29179″ fullwidth=”on” admin_label=”Gallery” _builder_version=”4.9.0″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text admin_label=”Yuka” _builder_version=”4.9.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
