The Indonesian police officer allegedly molested children, noted abuse in the case of Australian police

The victims are in “safe protection”

The ministry of strengthening the position and protection of children said that he was aware of the three alleged victims of Fajar and said that there were care for her.

“None of them escaped. They are in safe protection. Two victims are still accompanied by their parents, so they do not have to stay in a safe home, “said Ciput Eka Purwianti, assistant to the deputy protection of children.

Social workers from the provinces of Kupang and East Nusa Tenggar also still provide psychological support for victims.

The ministry cooperates with the Witness and Protection Protection Agency (LPSK), the Indonesian Children’s Protection Commission, the police and other children’s protection agencies to coordinate efforts in the country.

He undertakes to ensure that the case is treated in accordance with the law regarding crimes in sexual violence in the country, which guarantees the protection of the rights of victims in the entire process, from investigation to recovery and strengthening of the position, said Ciput.

This includes the process of interviewing with victims, she said.

“Victims of sexual violence should only be interviewed once. If additional evidence is needed, investigators should use registered interviews so that the child does not have to repeat their testimony many times, “added Ciput.

The Ministry of the Enterprise of Women is also trying to make a child’s friendly process, ensuring that investigators do not wear official uniforms that may potentially cause fear or intimidate the victim.

The National National Survey in Indonesia in the field of life experiences of children and youth showed that half of people aged 13 to 17 in the country experienced some form of violence in life.

“Although the statistics regarding reported cases of sexual assault increased every year, this does not mean that violence has increased, but the growing social awareness, which is a good sign,” added Ciput.

“Sexual violence is still unique. Sexual violence of non -contact affected 4 percent of girls and 4 percent of boys; This number does not even cover contact with sexual violence – she said.
