Private Visit to Borobudur Temple
In the morning, before today’s program began, The Crown Princess visited the Borobudur or Barabudur, a Mahayana Buddhist temple on a hilltop on the main island of Java in Indonesia dating from the 8th and 9th centuries.
The Temple was built in three tiers: a pyramidal base with five concentric square terraces, the trunk of a cone with three circular platforms and, at the top, a monumental stupa.

Crown Princess Mary was accompanied by UNFPA Executive Director Natalia Kanem. The local centers are an example of the general improvement of Indonesia’s health care coverage and also national health insurance, which was introduced in 2014.
We need to find a better way to deliver vital information on sexual and reproductive health to adolescents in Indonesia. It’s a challenge.

Dialogue about Family Planning and Involvement of Men
As the final point on the journey to Indonesia, Crown Princess Mary and Minister Rasmus Prehn met Indonesian religious leaders and engaged in a dialogue about family planning, among other things.
In Indonesia, religion plays a central role in the promotion of family planning programs and advice to prospective parents, and UNFPA therefore steps in through, among other things, providing expert assistance to religious advisors and improving knowledge men have about family planning.
Genuine gender equality is key to a successful marriage. A crucial message imparted by a Muslim cleric to a couple getting married in Yogyakarta.
