"Through these fun action plans, they will learn a lot and inspire each other to contribute to solving the problems we face together," she remarked at the "Warung Kopi Nusantara” event.
At the event, which was held as a part of World Children's Day celebrations, Puspayoga met with Children's Forum representatives from across the country and listened to their voices and suggestions.
The representatives delivered their action plans on three issues affecting children: preventing violence against women and children, preventing child marriage, and reproductive health.
Minister Puspayoga said the representatives from each region presented their ideas and programs in the form of action plans, which will be carried out from November 25 to December 16, 2022, within the framework of a 16-day campaign for fighting violence against women and children.
The minister said that all the ideas and programs presented by the children were interesting and applicable.
Therefore, she expected all parties to appreciate and support children from other regions.
At the event, children from East Java Province represented Indonesia's western regions, Southeast Sulawesi represented central Indonesia, and Papua represented eastern Indonesia.
According to the minister, the action plans proposed by all representatives of the Children's Forum aligned with the theme of this year’s World Children's Day: “Inclusion and Diversity.”
"On this important World Children's Day, not only the adults discuss children's rights, but children are also involved in discussing issues and developing action plans to contribute to fulfilling the rights of all Indonesian children, without exception," she added.
