"At the Women and Children Protection Center (PPPA), there are 24-hour services for 1,698 victims as of October, including counseling, medical, legal, and reintegration. Integration of data between agencies accelerates response, with a zero target of tolerance for sexual violence," Chico told reporters, Monday, November 24.

At the RW level, the DKI Provincial Government has carried out an early warning system to detect potential violence since the early stages of June 2025. The provincial government has also added protection facilities and expanded patrols through the task force.
"It was carried out by establishing a Protection House and Task Force. Encouraging RP3 (women workers' protection house) in the work environment, plus the Jakarta Guard Task Force for patrols and monitoring," he said.
In this case, Chico explained the five main factors that triggered violence, based on the identification of the Ministry of PPPA and reports from the DKI Jakarta Department of Child Protection and Population Control (DPAPP).
