Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesia’s Minister of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection Arifah Fauzi said the Road Map for Child Protection in the Digital Space (PARD) is intended to ensure children have access to a safe digital environment.

She said the roadmap will guide national child protection policies in the digital sphere through 2029 through three strategies: prevention, response services for victims, and stronger collaboration among 15 ministries and institutions.

According to Arifah, the government’s commitment is reflected in Government Regulation No. 17 of 2025 and Presidential Regulation No. 87 of 2025 on the roadmap.

Data from the 2024 National Survey on Children’s and Adolescents’ Life Experiences showed that 14.49 percent of boys and 13.78 percent of girls aged 13–17 had experienced cyberbullying.

She stressed that ensuring a safe digital environment for children is no longer an option, but a state obligation and a shared responsibility.
