In addition to districts and cities, the Provila award was also given to the Central Java Regional Police, showing good collaboration in dealing with violations against children.

Menteri Pemberdayaan Perempuan dan Anak, Bintang Puspayoga, menyampaikan bahwa penghargaan ini merupakan apresiasi atas komitmen dari kepala daerah dan pihak lainnya dalam melindungi anak Indonesia sesuai konstitusi.

"We really appreciate the enthusiasm of the local government in an effort to fulfill the fulfillment of special rights and protection for children," he said.
