Banjarmasin Mayor H Ibnu Sina announced that two awards were won by the city, namely the 2021 Child-Friendly City and Parahita Ekapraya or Gender Mainstreaming Awards.
"This is a special gift for the 495th anniversary of our city in 2021 with two awards," he said in Banjarmasin, Thursday.

He hopes the city to keep improving to win the Nindya or main category next year. The issue of women's empowerment and child protection is one of the development priorities of Banjarmasin.
