The Future of Indonesia Is in the Childrens' Hands

In order to establish an effective protection system, the government must approve key international international standards on the protection of children 's rights and then incorporate them into the law. Fortunately, Indonesia applies its principle to this law as well. The roles of parents and communities are also important. Protection of children must be protected by the parents and their surrounding communities, and the government is responsible. Of course, the benefits of each child can not be obtained in the same way.

Children in Indonesia tried to join the policy planning process. The Indonesian Children's Rights Protection Committee or Komisi Perlindungan Anak Indonesia (KPAI) holds annual events called Kongres Anak Indonesia or Indonesia Children's Congress. This event was used as a media for children to voice, protest and advise the government. But even if Indonesian children have some kind of media to spread their voices, you will find that the media is invalid. For example, look at the children's recommendations on tobacco hazards. They tried to submit proposals to the government in 2010 and 2011. However, when they read in front of the audience during the celebration of the child's day, the authorities canceled it. They canceled twice and notified me a few minutes ago before reading.

According to the 2007 survey, Indonesia has more than 170,000 street children. In 2000, about 1,600 children lived in the city of Yogyakarta. Approximately 500 of these children are girls from 4 to 16 years old. After the Indonesian financial crisis in 1997, many children began to live on the street. The girls living in the street face more difficulties than the boys living in the streets of Indonesia. Street girls are often abused by street boys because of the patriarchal patrimony of culture. "They refused to admit girls abusively and admit that they are street children, but compared with prostitutes." Many girls began relying on boyfriend, receiving important support in exchange for sex I will.
