dc.description.abstract | This paper aims to examine the implementation of the Child Friendly Cities and
Districts in Indonesia, as part of the decentralized agenda of current Indonesian reform. Child
protection has become one of the current problematic issues. This protection includes the effort
to guarantee and ensure the right to live, grow, develop, and participate fully in realizing each
child's future. The Indonesian government introduces regional child protection, it is ChildFriendly
Cities
and
Districts
as
a
part
of
the
critical
address
responding
to
the
issue
to
the
extent
the
government
provide
a
serious
protection
for
the
infant
generation.
Historically,
the
United
Nations
Children's Fund (UNICEF) initiated this concept, whose purpose was to aspire to
children's rights through the goals, programs, policies, and local governance structures. To date,
there remain many regional governments that do not have regulations on child-friendly cities or
districts. This paper considers Indonesia's regions experiencing in regulating and implementing
the child-friendly cities and districts that have become a benchmark for the other regions. In the
end, this paper concludes that each region must regulate and implement the child-friendly cities
with regional characteristics into a series of regional regulations, particularly preceded by the
regional regulation. | en_US |
