Pemprov Papua Tegaskan Komitmen Wujudkan Lingkungan Aman bagi Anak

JAYAPURA – Pemerintah Provinsi Papua menegaskan komitmennya untuk mewujudkan lingkungan yang aman, ramah, dan mendukung tumbuh kembang anak sebagai bagian dari upaya menyiapkan generasi menuju Indonesia Emas 2045.

Komitmen tersebut disampaikan Wakil Gubernur Papua Aryoko A.F. Rumaropen saat memimpin Apel Peringatan Hari Anak Nasional (HAN) ke-42 Tingkat Provinsi Papua di halaman Kantor Gubernur Papua, Kamis (23/7/2026).

Membacakan amanat Menteri Pemberdayaan Perempuan dan Perlindungan Anak (PPPA), Aryoko mengatakan perlindungan anak membutuhkan keterlibatan seluruh elemen masyarakat, mulai dari keluarga, sekolah, pemerintah, dunia usaha, media, tokoh agama, hingga tokoh adat.

“Perlindungan anak tidak dapat diwujudkan oleh pemerintah semata. Dibutuhkan kolaborasi dan gotong royong seluruh elemen bangsa,” ujarnya.

Menurutnya, keluarga tetap menjadi lingkungan pertama yang berperan dalam memenuhi hak-hak anak. 

Dukungan berbagai pihak diperlukan agar anak dapat tumbuh sehat, memperoleh pendidikan yang layak, serta terlindungi dari kekerasan, eksploitasi, penelantaran, dan diskriminasi, termasuk di ruang digital.

Peringatan Hari Anak Nasional tahun ini mengusung tema “Sayang Anak, Lindungi dan Bangun Masa Depan” yang menegaskan pentingnya menempatkan anak sebagai bagian dari pembangunan sekaligus memastikan hak-haknya terpenuhi.

Rangkaian peringatan Hari Anak Nasional tingkat Provinsi Papua diisi dengan Fun Walk Identity dari GOR Cenderawasih menuju Kantor Gubernur Papua dan pelepasan balon ucapan Hari Anak Nasional. 

Peringatan HAN juga menghadirkan berbagai layanan bagi masyarakat di lokasi kegiatan. Panitia membuka posko layanan publik, layanan anak, layanan kesehatan, konsultasi gizi, dan pendataan akta kelahiran. ***

JAYAPURA – The Papua Provincial Government has reaffirmed its commitment to creating a safe, child-friendly environment that supports children's growth and development as part of its efforts to prepare the next generation for Golden Indonesia 2045.

The commitment was expressed by Papua Vice Governor Aryoko A.F. Rumaropen while leading the 42nd National Children's Day commemoration ceremony at the provincial level, held at the Papua Governor's Office on Thursday (July 23, 2026).

Delivering a message on behalf of the Minister of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection, Aryoko stated that protecting children requires the active involvement of all sectors of society, including families, schools, government institutions, the business community, the media, religious leaders, and traditional leaders.

"Child protection cannot be achieved by the government alone. It requires collaboration and cooperation from every element of the nation," he said.

According to Aryoko, the family remains the primary environment responsible for fulfilling children's rights. Support from all stakeholders is essential to ensure that children can grow up healthy, receive quality education, and be protected from violence, exploitation, neglect, and discrimination, including in the digital environment.

This year's National Children's Day carries the theme "Love Children, Protect Them, and Build Their Future," emphasizing the importance of placing children at the center of development while ensuring that their rights are fully protected.

The provincial commemoration featured a Fun Walk Identity from Cenderawasih Sports Hall to the Papua Governor's Office, followed by the release of balloons bearing National Children's Day messages.

The event also provided a range of public services for attendees. Organizers established service booths offering public administrative services, child protection services, health services, nutrition consultations, and birth certificate registration to support the needs of children and families better. ***
