Abstract
Children as the nation's shoots need protection to grow and develop into healthy and happy adults and enjoy a good life. Boven Digoel's children have not yet obtained children's rights as stated in the Child Protection Act number 23/2002 and 35/2014 concerning Child Protection. The issue of accessibility, coordination and participation of various parties in realizing children's rights is a challenge that must be addressed together. Normatively the law has formulated a mechanism to fulfill children's rights. The Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection has issued regulations on the mechanisms of protection, service, empowerment and rehabilitation for children with special needs. This research explores the roles of local governments, and stakeholders in fulfilling children's rights. The results of the study : 1. cultural disparities; 2. geographical constraints; low community participation. Some problems that arise include: violence against children, child marriage, health, education and children's participation in development. Boven Digoel is different from other regions; in the constraints of fulfilling children's rights. Therefore, a study in the Implementation of Children's Rights in Boven Digoel District, Papua is very necessary.
