JAKARTA - The National Commission on Violence Against Women or Komnas Perempuan provides support to PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) for measures to prevent sexual harassment on trains.

"Komnas Perempuan really appreciates and also supports the proactive steps taken by KAI in addressing the issue of sexual harassment. KAI's step by blacklisting the perpetrators, the moment is very appropriate because we also just got the Act on the Crime of Sexual Violence," said Andy Yentriyani in her statement. in Jakarta, Antara, Friday, June 24.

Komnas Perempuan hopes that corporations, including SOEs such as KAI, will support and conduct campaigns related to anti-sexual violence. The goal is to provide safe transportation for women, not only by segregating space, but also by changing the mindset and attitude towards the issue of sexual violence.

Regarding the blacklist step, Komnas Perempuan considers this to be a good shock therapy so that everyone knows the consequences if they commit sexual harassment other than the criminal threats in the TPKS Law.

Komnas Perempuan also appreciates KAI for giving attention and recovery to victims by ensuring that victims feel comfortable and safe with the information they submit to KAI.

“We assess that there is still a lot of room for how we can ensure better prevention and treatment of cases of sexual violence. We hope that KAI and Komnas Perempuan can collaborate on educational aspects and policy guidelines that apply internally and externally to KAI," he explained.

Meanwhile, KAI President Director Didiek Hartantyo told Komnas Perempuan that KAI firmly does not tolerate acts of sexual violence or sexual harassment on the train mode.

KAI is a mode of mass transportation so it is hoped that all elements, both officers and fellow customers, take care and respect each other.

He said, KAI established communication with Komnas Perempuan in order to build trains that were safe, comfortable, and friendly to all people, especially women.

"The collaboration with Komnas Perempuan is in the context of socialization, education, and guidance to the community through the media owned by KAI to increase awareness in transporting according to ethics," said Didiek.

Perpetrators of harassment on long-distance train journeys have been blacklisted by KAI so they cannot use long-distance train services until an undetermined time. The aim is to provide a deterrent effect on perpetrators of sexual violence.

“KAI does not tolerate sexual violence and strictly does not give space to perpetrators of sexual violence on rail transportation. KAI hopes that all customers respect each other and report any suspicious behavior to KAI officers or contact centers so that they can be followed up immediately." close Didiek.
