Yet, gender gaps and social constraints in the accessibility prevent girls from attending and, children from the vulnerable communities are left behind. Toreverse this trend, we work at community level and use gender-sensitive teaching methodologies.Conclusion:PEis identified as an important agent for social transformation and youth empow-erment in Indonesia in the meta-review. Rising to systemic challenges through inclusive curric-ula, teacher preparation, and equitable resource provision and access will helpall youth to avail themselves of the benefits of physical activity, promoting a more equitable society.
