Even so, he appreciated the victims who dared to report. This is because more cases are handled, meaning that socialization is conveyed.

"This is not bad, but this is the knowledge we want to convey that every incident of violence must be reported," he said.

On that occasion, Tri emphasized, not all cases involving children and women must lead to legal settlement.
