BOGOR - The number of violence against women and children in the City of Bogor throughout 2025 is still high. Based on the latest data, there were 88 cases of violence against women and 77 cases of violence against children.

The surge in cases has come under the spotlight of Commission IV of the Bogor City DPRD during the discussion of the 2026 Work Plan and Budget (RKA) with the Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Agency (DP3A). The Council assessed that the high rate of violence must be responded to with stronger policies and budgetary support.

The Chairman of Commission IV of the Bogor City DPRD, Fajar Muhamad Nur, said that the data showed that the issue of women's and children's protection was still a serious homework for the local government.

"This data must be a reminder for all of us. It is sad when the cases are high, but the allocated budget is minimal. How can we move as much as possible if the fiscal support is limited?" said Fajar after a meeting at the Bogor City DPRD Building, Tuesday, February 10.

According to him, the handling is not enough to be curative or after the incident occurs. DP3A is asked to strengthen preventive measures through public education, especially strengthening family upbringing or parenting to prevent violence from an early age.

Fajar assessed that family resilience was the key to reducing violence. Education to parents and the surrounding environment is considered important so that children can get adequate protection.

In addition, Commission IV also highlighted the need for synchronization of programs between regional institutions so that efforts to empower women and protect children are more effective and targeted.

As a follow-up, the DPRD is committed to encouraging the addition of funds for DP3A through the APBD Amendment and fighting for the issue of women's and children's protection to become a regional policy priority.

"The case is high, so the response must also be serious. Without strong budgeting and coordination, the handling will not be optimal," said Fajar.
