HOLOPIS.COM, JAKARTA – Indonesia’s Ministry of Religious Affairs has stepped up efforts to protect children in religious education institutions by launching a national anti-violence reporting platform as part of its Safe and Child-Friendly Spaces National Movement (Gernas RANA).
The ministry introduced the AMAN (Anti-Violence Complaint Management) application, an online platform that allows students, parents, teachers, and members of the public to report suspected cases of violence in religious schools.
“Through the Safe and Child-Friendly Spaces National Movement, we want to ensure that every child can grow, learn, and develop in a safe environment that is protected from all forms of violence,” Thobib said, Holopis reported.
The AMAN platform enables users to report alleged physical, sexual, and digital violence occurring within religious education settings.
According to Thobib, every report submitted through the platform will be handled professionally, with priority given to protecting victims, safeguarding the confidentiality of whistleblowers, and ensuring that investigations comply with applicable regulations.
In addition to providing a reporting channel, the ministry is strengthening child protection through a series of broader initiatives, including enhanced regulations, implementation of its Love-Based Curriculum, the development of child-friendly learning environments, and fair case handling focused on victims’ recovery.
Thobib also called on the public to take an active role in creating violence-free learning environments, saying community participation is essential to building a safer education system for children.
“One report can save many children. Do not hesitate to use the reporting platform if you witness or experience suspected violence. Together, we can create safe and caring learning environments that nurture intelligent, ethical, and dignified future generations,” he said.
