The initiative is grounded in Islamic principles, Indonesia's constitutional mandate for world peace, and international commitments like the Beijing Platform for Action, aiming to halt the war and ensure access to health and education in conflict zones. This move reflects NU's tradition of promoting moderation, tolerance, and justice on a global scale.",
        "content": "<p>General Chair of the Central Board of Muslimat Nahdlatul Ulama (NU),\nKhofifah Indar Parawansa, will send an official letter to the United\nNations (UN) in response to the impacts of the war raging in the Middle\nEast. Khofifah, who is also the Governor of East Java, stated that the\nconflict in the Middle East involving the US-Israel coalition and Iran\nuntil April 2026 continues to make the world anxious, particularly\nregarding the fate of children and women. \u201cWe from Muslimat NU will\nwrite to urge the UN to use its power to protect children and women from\nthe impacts of that war,\u201d Khofifah said on the sidelines of attending\nthe 80th anniversary of Muslimat NU in Yogyakarta on Sunday, 12 April\n2026. Khofifah explained that the impacts of the war, which has now\nentered its second month in April, are already too numerous, especially\nfor child victims. According to Khofifah, the world through its\ninternational organisations must act to end the war soon and prevent\nfurther civilian casualties. Muslimat NU\u2019s step to write to the UN, she\nsaid, is based on three fundamental foundations: religious values, the\nstate constitution, and international commitments. The first basis is\nthe principle of Maqashid Syariah, which emphasises the protection of\nlife or al-muhafazah \u2019ala al-nafs. The second is the mandate of the\nPreamble to the 1945 Constitution to maintain world order, and the third\nis points in the Beijing Platform for Action that highlight the\nprotection of women in armed conflicts. Khofifah detailed that there are\nseveral crucial points that will be conveyed to the UN Secretary-General\nas part of the voice of civil society. This letter will also be\nforwarded through the Ministry of Women\u2019s Empowerment and Child\nProtection. However, the main demand is to encourage the UN to\nimmediately use its power to stop the war and guarantee human rights.\n\u201cEspecially protection for women, children, and access to health and\neducation in conflict areas,\u201d she said. According to her, discourse on\nefforts to calm civilisation has actually been studied in depth over the\npast two years to respond to violence that still occurs at various\nlevels, from household to global arenas. \u201cWe hope the UN\nSecretary-General, through his power, truly works and can stop the war\nand realise world peace.\u201d She added that this movement urging the UN to\nact immediately aims to create a cool and peaceful atmosphere. This, she\nbelieves, aligns with the Ahlussunnah wal Jama\u2019ah tradition that upholds\nvalues of moderation, tolerance, and justice, which have long been\nnurtured by millions of Muslimat NU members throughout Indonesia and the\nworld.<\/p>",
