CHANGE THE WORLD WITH CHILDREN

In all countries in the world, there are many children living in exceptionally difficult conditions and that such children need special consideration. For those I’m very violently invited to encourage attention for them. Because my profession is the practical corporate law, so I’ve been concentrate to take measures for carry on the Indonesian Government programs, which has ratified in 1990 the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), through the Presidential Decree Number 36/1990 and the law on child protection has now been adopted as The Law Number 23 Year 2002. Indonesia strives to live up to its obligation to fulfill children’s rights. This obligation is also shown in the international commitment agreed upon during the 27th UNGASS (United Nations General Assembly for the Special Session on Children ) meeting. The UNGASS produced the document “A World Fit For Children” which outlines basic standards on child welfare and protection. Recognizing that the law enforcement remains one of the biggest challenges in Indonesia, so I’ve dedication my mission to assistance and supported the Indonesian government program to give a world fit of children. Socialize of the law on children protection (The Republic of Indonesia Law Number 23 Year 2002), will help raise awareness of the law and its content to not only the legal enforcers, but also to the national and international community at large, including children themselves. In my mission to socialize the substance of the law on children protection (The Republic of Indonesia Law Number 23 Year 2002) to all the people in the nation, to the public, to the institutions working on child protection and on child rights,and raise their awarennes and participation in providing the best for Indonesian children, those all who have been contribute and got a hard supported to develop my mission are my husband and my children.
My husband, he is the UNICEF staff member in Indonesia, he give me much supported and some positive input about UNICEF mission. In term of this, I’ve optimalised continuing hard work and commitment to concerned with children’s rights, to guarantee and protect the children, so that they can live, grow, develop and participate optimally in accordance with human dignity standards and values, and be protected from violence and discrimination. Particular thanks to my husband, as UNICEF staff member, in addition I would like to express gratitude to him, without whom my mission could well have proved impossible. By mean to know according about UNICEF, and all the UNICEF mission there are has been wonderful and rewarding experience. I love the organization, I love the mission.
My children have greatly appreciated the UNICEF mission too, their attention for the opinions of their father occupation and my mission, and their concrete involvement to following their parents activities will give them an increased sense of responsibility and eradication of all forms of discrimination and violence from Indonesia. They are helped me to completing my mission survey, which was full of valuable comments. They will bring me into close aligment with what I want to know to undertake in its behalf studies on specific issues relating to the rights of the children. As the UNICEF family. I’m with my sons have a personality commitment to supported all of UNICEF mission and programs. Because I know, family, as the fundamental group of society and the natural environtment for the growth and well being off all its members and particularly children, should be afforded the necessary protection and assistance so that it can fully assume its responsibilities within the community. And the children, for the full and harmonious development on his or her personality, should grow up in a family environment, in an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding. For those, I will be concentrated my mission to give a world fit for children, for supported my husband as UNICEF staff member. So we can work together to give a better world for children. A brighter future for all of our children can only be achieved if we all work hand in hand, nationally and internationally, and at all levels of society.
I dedicated my life for socialization of the law on child protection in my nation, Indonesia.

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child


The Convention is the first international human rights treaty to bring together the universal set of standards concerning children in a unique instrument, and the first to present child rights as a legally binding imperative.

The Convention :
  • Defined childhood as a separate space from adulthood and recognized that what is appropriate for an adult may not be suitable for a child.
  • Called on governments to provide material assistance and support to families and to prevent children from being separated from their parents.
  • Recognized that children are the holders of their own rights and are therefore not passive recipients of charity but empowered actors in their own development.

In the years since the Convention was adopted, the world has seen concrete results for children. Between the early 1990s and 2000, the average under-five mortality rate declined by 11 per cent, underweight prevalence among children under five fell from 32 per cent to 28 per cent in developing countries, and global access to safe drinking water rose from 77 per cent to 82 per cent. Child deaths from diarrhoea, the foremost killer of children at the beginning of the 1990s, declined by half, saving an estimated 1 million lives, while the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, launched in 1988, helped to cut the number of cases from 350,000 that year to some 700 by the end of 2003.

Still recognizing that much more needed to be done for the world’s children, 190 world leaders convened at the UN General Assembly Special Session on Children in May 2002 and pledged to accelerate progress on child development by promoting :

  • the best start and healthy lives,
  • providing quality education,
  • protecting against abuse, exploitation and violence,
  • and combating HIV/AIDS.
These commitments were reflected in a new international compact "A World Fit for Children".
