Dozens of Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren) in South\nKalimantan took part in the declaration of the Pesantrenku Aman National\nMovement, attended directly by the Chairman of the Nahdlatul Ulama\nExecutive Board (PBNU), KH Yahya Cholil Staquf.<\/p>\n
The Pesantrenku Aman declaration was centred at Darul Ilmu Islamic\nBoarding School in Banjarbaru and was attended by thousands of students\nand administrators from 20 pesantren across South Kalimantan on Tuesday\n(11\/8). Pesantrenku Aman is a national movement launched by the\ngovernment together with PBNU through the Rabithah Ma\u2019ahid Islamiyah\n(RMI) and Saka Pesantren. The movement aims to create an environment in\nIslamic boarding schools and madrasahs that is free from all forms of\nphysical, verbal and sexual violence, as well as bullying, in order to\nguarantee the safety and comfort of students.<\/p>\n
PBNU Chairman KH Yahya Cholil Staquf said the Pesantrenku Aman\nmovement has been an NU agenda since the beginning of the year to\nstrengthen cooperation among pesantren in realising the concept of a\nsafe and child-friendly pesantren. \u201cIt discusses what the security\nstandards are, what needs exist and are identified, and then how we can\ncooperate between pesantren to realise them,\u201d said Gus Yahya.<\/p>\n
He said the involvement of 20 pesantren is an initial step to bring\ntogether the needs of each pesantren while seeking forms of cooperation\nthat can be undertaken to meet security needs. Follow-up actions from\nthe activity will be carried out through a mentoring programme involving\nthe Nahdlatul Ulama Regional Board (PWNU) and PBNU in the regions.<\/p>\n
Cooperation between pesantren is important so that the needs for\nbuilding a safe pesantren can be addressed collectively through the\nexchange of experiences and support according to each institution\u2019s\nconditions. Gus Yahya expressed hope that the activity would mark the\nbeginning of a follow-up programme that expands pesantren involvement so\nthat efforts to build safe pesantren can be carried out sustainably\nwithin the Nahdlatul Ulama community.<\/p>\n
The Secretary of the Rabithah Ma\u2019ahid Islamiyah of the Nahdlatul\nUlama Executive Board (RMI-PBNU), Gus Ulun, said the continuing\nprevalence of violence cases within pesantren environments poses a\nchallenge for all parties to create a safe environment in Islamic\nboarding schools and madrasahs, so that the educational process can run\nproperly.<\/p>\n
Gus Yahya\u2019s visit to South Kalimantan, in addition to attending the\nPesantrenku Aman National Movement declaration, also included the\ninauguration of PCNU boards across South Kalimantan. The visit, or\nroadshow, by Gus Yahya is also said to be related to consolidation in\npreparation for the 35th NU Congress, which will be held on 27\u201331 August\n2026 in Jombang, East Java.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/gus-yahya-attends-pesantrenku-aman-declaration-in-south-kalimantan-1786459849", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
