Perempuan Bersanggul Nusantara is a community of women who care about national development programs. One of the activities implemented to date is skills-based empowerment activities. This activity is intended to give women good skills where their potential can be developed. The development of women's potential is a manifestation of women's empowerment so that women are more qualified and can participate in development.
