According to Marriage Law in Indonesia, the minimum legal age of marriage for girls is 16 with parental consent. Child marriage contributes to maternal mortality and the mortality of infants under five, threatens girl’s chance to continue schooling, robs girls of their childhood and the opportunity to be sufficiently educated, entrenching them and their future families in poverty, limiting their life choices and generating high development costs for communities.

A lot of effort has been done by NGOs and advocacy networks in Indonesia, ranging from community empowerment at the grassroots level, education and public awareness to advocacy. The most phenomenal advocacy performed for this issue is judicial marriage law to raise the minimum age of marriage for women is 18 years. However, this judicial review was rejected by the Constitutional Court based on moral grounds. Learning from these experiences, there should be a synergistic intervention among NGOs to reduce child marriage cases and its social and economic impacts.

This side event will highlight the result of discussion and reflection among national and international NGOs, UN agencies and advocacy networks that works in Indonesia about synergize interventions are needed, as well share the results of research on the economic loss at the national or districts/ cities if child marriage allowed. We will also present the results of focus group discussions about the social impact of child marriage against women and men who had experience as a victim of child marriage.

2.      MenCare+ in Indonesia: Achieving Gender Equality Through Engaging Men in Family Planning

Currently in Indonesia, the male contraception program is still considered as unsuccessful, only 4,6% of men participate in contraception use in Indonesia.

Engaging men is crucial and strategic for improving SRHR for all and can be conducted by having discussions amongst males on the importance of healthy relationships (amongst unmarried young men as well as husbands), including acknowledgement of sexual and reproductive health of their partners, and all risks and consequences, use of contraception. All are based on equal partnership.
