Listening to children’s voices is crucial for the nation’s future. The Rumah Impian Children’s Forum is a platform for the children supported by the Rumah Impian Indonesia Foundation to unite their voices, express their aspirations, and contribute to the nation.
The Rumah Impian Indonesia Foundation held another meeting of the Rumah Impian Children’s Forum on July 27, 2024. Held at the Rumah Impian Indonesia Foundation office, this third meeting was attended by 23 children from five areas: Kalasan, Wonocatur, Jogoyudan, Tlukan, and Tukangan.
This time, the discussion was led by one of the mentors, Arif Nur Hidayat. The topics covered included issues of bullying, unsafe environments for children, safe play environment, and spaces for children’s expression.
The children were encouraged to discuss their rights and think about how they could participate in ensuring those rights are fulfilled. In the end, everyone agreed that children have an important role to play in contributing positively to the fulfillment of children’s rights and child protection in their communities.
