JAKARTA - Citayam Fashion Week (CFW) in the Dukuh Atas area, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta, began displaying unusual clothing. Currently, there are many underage boys who wear women's clothes and use the zebra cross as a fashion catwalk.

Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza Patria, stated that his party was worried about the association of SCBD teenagers in the Dukuh Atas area who began to behave defiantly.

The existence of freedom of expression, including negative things, is feared to be absorbed by teenagers in the area. Moreover, underage teenagers are in public space without any guidance and supervision from their parents.

"That is also our concern, there are our children who are underage, male junior high school wear women's clothes. We avoid this, they use women's clothes proudly," said Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta, Ahmad Riza to reporters at the location, Saturday, July 23, evening.

Riza promised that the DKI Provincial Government would immediately provide coaching, guidance, and persuasive education to teenagers in the Dukuh Atas area.

"Hopefully we will gradually carry out coaching, guidance, persuasive education so that these children are awake," he said.

The DKI Provincial Government will also anticipate symptoms of sexual deviation behavior in public spaces.

"From promiscuity, which is not good, from potential LGBT symptoms we avoid immediately, we will overcome it," he said.

He also advised parents who have teenagers to pay attention to their children's behavior when they are at home, starting with how to dress and other behaviors.

"We will do outreach to them. Parents must also take care not to let our children have the potential to behave like LGBT people," he said.

Previously, it was reported that the use of public space or community interaction space in the Dukuh Atas area, Central Jakarta is increasingly loved by young people.

This area became viral on social media after being filled with a number of SCBD teenagers (Sudirman, Citayam, Bojonggede, Depok).

They come to the area for a variety of interests and activities. In fact, many create various social media content in the open area.

However, the supervision of related officers in the Dukuh Atas public space, precisely on Jalan Tegal Parang, Tanah Abang District, Central Jakarta is still weak. The public space that became a place of expression for the citizens began to be colored with other motives.

Over time, the use of zebra crossing is also used by other parties to promote something.

As found by VOI on CFW at the zebra cross of Tegal Parang Street, Dukuh Atas area, on Tuesday, July 19, evening.

That night, a man was seen wearing a woman's sexy clothes and gracefully walking like a fashion model at the zebra cross in Tegal Parang Street, Dukuh Atas area.

The person claimed to be from one of the transgender communities. He deliberately came to the Dukuh Atas SCBD area because it is currently viral and trending.

The action also took place in the midst of active Satpol PP and Dishub officers who gave advice on the use of masks.

"With this viral event, we have to be ourselves and still show up, don't be shy, we have to continue to excel in our own style," said G, who claims to be an Indonesian trans woman.

Responding to CFW activities that are used by other communities, Deputy Mayor of Central Jakarta, Irwandi hopes that the existence of open spaces can be used for positive SCBD youth activities. All people are allowed to use the Dukuh Atas open space, but it is not misused for certain interests such as politics and others.

"Ladyboy (transgender) is actually outside the context of Citayam Fashion Week (CFW). If possible, don't use it for that. Yes, there must be an impact. Do something creative and innovative," said Irwandi when confirmed by VOI, Friday, July 22.

Meanwhile, the Central Jakarta Metro Police will also carry out an investigation regarding the information on the women's fashion show held by trans women at Citayem Fashion Week (CFW) Tegal Parang Street, Dukuh Atas area, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta.

"We'll look into it later, we'll coordinate with the local Police," said the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Central Jakarta Metro Police, Grand Commissioner Adjutant Gunarto when confirmed by VOI, Friday, July 22.
