Assistant Deputy for the Protection of Women's Rights in the Household and Vulnerable Ministry of PPPA Eni Widiyanti

JAKARTA - Assistant Deputy for the Protection of Women's Rights in the Household and Vulnerable Ministry of PPPA Eni Widiyanti said that no violence can be tolerated. Including verbal or psychological violence.

"All domestic violence cannot be tolerated. So even verbal violence is in the eyes of the PPPA Ministry, that's not true," said Eni Widiyanti in a discussion themed "Confuse Women's Toxic Relations with Possive Men", in Jakarta, Friday, February 17, as reported by Antara.

Eni Widiyanti added that women who did not experience physical violence but received verbal, psychological, or neglecting violence were victims of violence.

His party also dismissed the notion that violence was carried out as a form of affection.

"There is no such thing as an expression of affection with violence, it never existed, so it must be wrong," he said.

His party also asked the victims of violence to dare to report through the SAPA 129 service or to the service that handles women and children in the local area.

The SAPA 129 service itself can be accessed via the 129 call center and the WhatsApp application with the number 0811-129-129.

Eni also asked victims of violence to think clearly if they were in an unhealthy relationship and immediately took further steps by ending a relationship or asking for professional assistance.

"He can also ask for assistance. So if he can't decide, he can go to a psychiatrist, ask for advice, or he can go to the KPPPA, he can also go to the PPPA Service," said Eni.
