JAKARTA - The Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (KemenPPPA) has asked the enforcement of emergency PPKM not to involve acts of violence, as happened in Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi.

"We are sorry for the incident that happened to a family in Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi which went viral on social media. We all agree that the rules must be enforced as they should be, but there should be no violence in their application," said Deputy for the Protection of Women's Rights KemenPPPA Ratna Susianawati quoted Between, Friday, July 16th.

Ratna said that during the pandemic, people are in a condition of struggling to take care of themselves and their respective families and trying to maintain economic conditions, it would be better if each used an empathetic approach.

KemenPPPA also invites the community and government officials to jointly create conditions for an anti-violent society.

"So far, we have continued to struggle not to continue the culture of violence in all spheres of society, down to the smallest sphere, namely the family. In community groups, women and children are vulnerable groups, so we are all obliged to protect and prevent them from becoming victims of violence," said Ratna.

Ratna added that her party understands the difficult task of the joint team when carrying out operations to enforce the implementation of micro-scale Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) in their respective areas, especially when there are still many people who violate it. However, he requested that in carrying out their duties, they should prioritize dialogue and education.

Ratna hopes that the community will help the government by obeying the rules.

Meanwhile, for the joint team, including the Satpol PP, when they encounter violations, KemenPPPA requests that they can prioritize dialogue, education and prevent acts of violence because violence is not a solution when taking action on Emergency PPKM.

"We hope that the problems in Gowa can be resolved properly," said Ratna.

The Ministry of PPPA also invites the community to create conditions for islands of non-violence or conditions where all parties as much as possible prevent violence around us, so that a zero-violence community can be realized.

"Persuasive dialogue with the community in the enforcement of Emergency PPKM operations is prioritized," said Ratna.
