Statement From Muslimah Hizb ut Tahrir Indonesia
Shariah-Khilafah Creates Protection and Prosperity for Children in Indonesia

Although every year we celebrate National Children Day (HAN), so many children's problems in this country happen at all times. Ironically, the numbers keep increased significantly and it is getting harder to be solved by the available system tool. Soon after the case of sexual abuse towards children declared as national disaster, Indonesian children face real threat of pedophilia in their neighborhood. This reality obviously makes the society where the children grow worse than before. The society has been ruined by the spread of alcohol drinks, drugs and harassment practice, the booming of pornography and spreading of adultery because the difficulty to close prostitution localization.

Instead of giving caring society which protects children from many threats, the present system in fact keeps making different destruction. Democracy system that has embedded freedom values, created many forms of liberal behavior and policy ends with destruction. Its liberal economy loss has hampered Indonesian children to get prosperity. It also has forced mothers to work abroad and ignored the best parenting for their children. It causes children lost their economy and family education rights.

The children are also vulnerable to be harassment victim because of the failure of education system to produced faithful personal in the middle of porn media raid. Then, do we still expect total protection for children can be created from this present system?

As critic of commemoration of 2014 National Children Day (HAN) and in giving contribution for solving the problems of this generation, Muslimah Hizb ut Tahrir Indonesia declares:

1. National Children Day (HAN) momentum is supposed to be used to evaluate comprehensively the result of generation development as has been planned, not just as annual ceremony with prosperity and implementation of children rights rhetoric. If the aims of generation development definitely could not be achieved by the present policy steps, then all of committed elements have to do changes albeit it requires changing the system.

2. It is time for us to realize that supporting society in protecting children as what the theme of 2014 National Children Day (HAN) can only be created if Indonesia applies Islamic shariah comprehensively in Khilafah "Caliphate" Islamiyah State. National Movement of Anti Sexual Crime towards Children (GN-AKSA), family parenting improvement, children character building by strengthening national value through declaration of Child Friendly Cities (KLA) without putting away democracy system will only strengthen the existence of liberal paradigm and create many more problems.

3. Khilafah "Caliphate" Islamiyah is the only system that can be Ummah protector from many threats and guardian to fulfill the basic needs of Ummah until prosperity comes true.
Khilafah "Caliphate" will not compromise with material interest and let the destructive paradigm and behavior spread between Ummah. Khilafah "Caliphate" will do its best to give prosperity without burdening mothers to work. Because Khilafah "Caliphate" considers its citizens including mothers and children not as economy assets but as its responsibility to be served and made their need fulfilled.

Thus whoever wants to implement honor and prosperity and better future for generation, they should answer Allah's calling persistently to strive in applying shariah law in Khilafah "Caliphate" Islamiyah State. Allah (swt) says:

[إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُوا مَا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ ۗ]

"Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.." [Al-Ra'du : 11]
