Child marriage prevention must involve multiple parties: minister

Jakarta (ANTARA) – Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection Minister Bintang Puspayoga has highlighted that efforts to prevent child marriage must be carried out by involving multiple parties, including non-governmental organizations, mass media, academicians, community leaders, religious leaders, and the community.”Efforts to prevent child marriage that we are carrying out ahead must be more structured, holistic, and integrative,” she said at the launch of a marriage dispensation study report here on Monday. Puspayoga noted that bringing down the incidence of child marriage is one of the five women and children-related priority issues for 20192024, as mandated by President Joko Widodo. “However, a number of efforts that have been made to eradicate child marriage practices are, in fact, not yet enough,” she added. She said that Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning amendments to Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, which sets the minimum age for marriage at 19 years, has not necessarily been able to end child marriage. There are even regulations that have become a loophole and worsened the complexity of child marriage prevention, such as Supreme Court Regulation Number 5 of 2019 concerning Guidelines for Judging Marriage Dispensation Applications. The high incidence of child marriage has become a big threat to Indonesian children as the practice of child marriage can put women’s reproductive health at risk. It may also contribute to domestic violence, divorce, children dropping out of school, maternal mortality, infant mortality, an increase in stunting cases, and even a rise in the chances of poverty. Puspayoga expressed the hope that many parties would synergize and collaborate in efforts to prevent child marriage to achieve the Child-Friendly Indonesia by 2030 and the Golden Indonesia goal by 2045 targets.

Indonesia criticizes Thai talks with Myanmar junta

Jakarta (ANTARA) – The Indonesian government on Monday criticized Thailand’s decision to host a meeting of foreign ministers of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), including the Myanmar junta.Speaking at a press conference in Jakarta, special staff to the Indonesian Minister of Foreign Affairs for regional diplomacy, Ngurah Swajaya, said that Thailand’s approach to involve the Myanmar junta violated the mandate of ASEAN’s Five-Point Consensus. “If one country takes the initiative, go ahead, it’s their right. But when talking in the ASEAN context, we have rules of the game that must be respected,” Swajaya stated. The rules of the game refer to the Five-Point Consensus and the outcomes of the ASEAN summits, which have been agreed upon by the leaders for addressing the crisis that has been unfolding in Myanmar ever since the military seized power from a democratically elected government in a 2021 coup. “There was an agreement among ASEAN leaders that the Five-Point Consensus is still the reference (for resolving Myanmar’s crisis),” he said. ccording to Swajaya, an approach involving all stakeholders in Myanmar must be carried out to encourage national inclusive dialogue and find a peaceful solution. Engaging just one stakeholder is not part of ASEAN’s Myanmar peace plans.
