JAKARTA - Minister of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (PPPA) Arifatul Choiri Fauzi claimed that the needs for girls and disaster victims in Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra were gradually fulfilled. His party has reviewed the location after the landslide and flash floods.
"We also see that the specific needs of children and women have begun to be fulfilled, although not all of them," Arifatul told reporters after the event 'Technical Competition for Women State Administrators in the Eradication of Corruption' in a series of commemorations of World Anti-Corruption Day (Hakordia) 2025 at the Yogyakarta Kepatihan complex, Monday, December 8.
In the future, Arifatul said the government would try to meet the needs of children and women who were victims of disasters in Sumatra. For example, the underwear to sanitary napkins he said were very much needed.
"The need for women's reproduction is different from men, such as sanitary napkins, underwear, then food for children is different from for adults. What has this been provided by the government with the various maximum efforts," he said.
Then, the Ministry of PPPA has also given trauma healing to victims of the Sumatra disaster. This is done by cooperating with a number of parties.
"Not only from our ministry. From the TNI, Polri, then related agencies, from the Ministry of Social Affairs, from KPPPA, all of them did their best, yes, trauma healing for women and children from the first day we were there has been done," he said.
