What is going on in Indonesia?
Indonesia is a vast and diverse country, but many children and youth with disabilities face inequality and exclusion. Stigma, poor infrastructure, and limited access to basic services keep many out of education and healthcare. Large numbers remain unregistered and invisible in official systems. While national policies exist, local enforcement and monitoring remain weak.
Facts and figures
- 2.78 million children (5 – 17 yrs) live with a disability
- 3% of disabled people are registered
- 36% of children with disabilities don’t attend school
- 20 % of districts have disability action plans
