JAKARTA - Every year, the commemoration of National Children's Day is an important reminder that children are the next generation who have the right to grow in a healthy, safe and loving environment.

Children's right to adequate nutrition, quality education, and playing space and expression are fundamental elements for optimal growth and development.
