A LIGHT IN THE DARK

Out of the dreams of many in the nation, Hilda Kari stands odd, breaking the long waiting silence and setting the record to be the first woman politician of the Solomon Islands. Her braveness was a quality that the nation admires. She came from the North-East Guadalcanal province of the Solomon Island. Hilda Kari is a woman of grate courage and vision of serving people. She never asks for what her community can do for her, rather she asked herself what she can do for her community. Her priority is the needs of her people. For example, she makes sure proper education, quality medical services and transportation is accessible to every people and less fortunate people should not left out of any necessary services. Additionally, when she became the Minister for Women Children and sports she empowered women and girls to stand together to present woman’s right.

Hilda Kari is a very respectful woman in our community that despite your race, gender religion and different background, she treated all equal. She cannot stand watching her people suffers. When making decisions, Mrs. Kari would always weigh the opinions of her people for fairness and just outcomes. She is a good in listening than talking, meaning that she takes time to received critics and feedback from the public before taking the next step.

Community and collective interest is her priority. During 1989-1997 Mrs. Kari’s Party is “OUR PARTY” which literally means community goal is what she was there to address, rather than her personal well-being. She fights for the goal of her people; first, by paving the way for female to the highest level of leadership in the country and second by becoming a Minister of Forest and conservation where she helps voices the cry of her people on sustainable environmental development.

Hilda Kari is an honest leader that never fails the purpose of her leadership. Interestingly, she develops schools, clinics, ensures transportation accessibility to top class people to the grass roots. Accepting criticisms and timely disclosing of correct information in certain situation left her trustworthy at all times.

Finally, Mrs. Kari is a woman of fair and Justice. Twice in her life journey she represents the stigmatized and less fortunate group of people in our society. When she becomes the Minister for Women Children and Sports she preaches against Violence. Similarly, when she was the president for National Council women she strongly stands against gender inequality in Solomon Islands. More than a Member of the Solomon Islands National Government, Mrs. Kari is a feminist and she fights very hard to show the nation that women should not be seen inferior men. For example, redirecting the rural governance perspective on women.

Hilda Kari was the first female heroines of the Solomon Islands. Despite that she was unknown to many today, yet her legacy lingers on to future female leaders of Solomon Islands.
