JAKARTA - The Jakarta Provincial Department of Empowerment, Child Protection, and Population Control (PPAPP) recorded that the house was the location with the highest number of violence victims in the South Jakarta area.

Chairul Luthfi, Expert on the Fulfillment of the Rights of Victims of Violence against Women and Children of the DKI Jakarta Provincial PPPA UPT, said that the number of victims of violence at home reached 253 people.

"Houses are the most common crime scene in South Jakarta, with 253 victims of violence," said Chairul when met in South Jakarta, Antara, Wednesday, January 28.

Apart from houses, other locations of violence include schools with 41 victims, boarding houses with 31 victims, roads with 27 victims, and a number of other locations with smaller numbers.

Chairul emphasized the importance of the courage of the victims and the surrounding environment to report acts of violence through the complaint post available in every sub-district in South Jakarta.

The complaint post is spread across Kemuning Post Pasar Minggu, Pos Tiga Durian Pancoran, Pos Anggrek Cilandak, Pos Bhineka Pesanggrahan, Pos Ramli Mampang Prapatan, Pos Taman Sawo Kebayoran Baru, Pos Ciganjur Berseri Jagakarsa, Pos Flamboyan Tebet, Pos Delman Asri Kebayoran Lama, and Pos Taman Batu Setiabudi.

Meanwhile, the Head of the South Jakarta PPAPP Sub-Office, Rizky Hamid, said that his party continued to intensify socialization to prevent violence in the community, with a main focus on the home environment.

"For those at home, we are constantly carrying out socialization through communities in the local environment, such as RT, RW, Dasawisma, PKK, and posyandu," said Rizky.

He hopes that vigilance against violence can grow through neighborly concern, as well as being a bridge in the dissemination of information on prevention and handling of violence.

Based on data from the DKI Jakarta Child and Women Protection Center (PPPA), from January to December 2025, a total of 2,269 cases of violence against women and children in Jakarta were recorded.

Of these, South Jakarta handled 460 cases and ranked second in terms of the number of cases of violence against women and children in the capital.
