Description
In English
Many people in Indonesia have the perception that young age indicates that a person's experience or ability to enter the world of politics is immature. In fact, various studies show that young people have the capacity to lead and build movements. Many young people have proven they are capable of becoming educators, volunteers, and providing input on programs related to various issues such as disaster risk reduction, protecting children and women.
To realize meaningful youth participation, political parties and stakeholders need to pay attention to the diversity of young people and recognize young people as leaders and politicians. Youth must be more than just age; they must be active, innovative and critical. Even though political participation is important, youth must always ensure that the government is responsible in serving the people.In Indonesian
Banyak orang di Indonesia memiliki persepsi bahwa usia muda menandakan belum matangnya pengalaman maupun kemampuan seseorang untuk terjun ke dunia politik. Padahal, berbagai studi menunjukkan bahwa kaum muda memiliki kapasitas dalam memimpin dan membangun gerakan. Banyak kaum muda telah membuktikan mereka mampu menjadi pendidik, relawan, hingga memberi masukan pada program terkait berbagai macam isu seperti pengurangan risiko bencana, perlindungan anak dan perempuan.
Untuk mewujudkan partisipasi kaum muda yang bermakna, partai politik dan pemangku kepentingan perlu memperhatikan keberagaman kaum muda dan memberikan pengakuan pada kaum muda sebagai pemimpin dan politikus. Pemuda harus lebih dari sekadar usia; mereka harus aktif, inovatif, dan kritis. Meskipun partisipasi politik penting, pemuda harus selalu memastikan pemerintah bertanggung jawab dalam melayani rakyat.In Makassar
