The responsibility of a fisherman’s wife, in addition to taking care of the household, also involves participating in fishing activities such as helping to prepare for the needs of going to sea, such as preparing fishing gear and supplies to be taken to sea, repairing fishing gear or participating in the process of processing the catch. By involving the fisherman’s wife in various economic activities, the fisherman’s wife can help increase family income and meet household needs.

Right on Kartini Day, namely on April 21, 2025, there is one of the fishermen’s wives who is busy making bubu or assembling the bubu frame with its net. This activity can improve their skills and knowledge in business and financial management, especially in making bubu made of bamboo.

The role of fishermen’s wives in helping their husbands’ work is very important because they are not only housewives but also play a role in supporting the family economy. Their role reflects the spirit of Kartini who fought for women’s emancipation, namely the ability of women to be independent and contribute in various fields so that they are worthy of being called modern Kartini.
