Out of the total cases handled over the last two months, 23 involved girls, eight involved boys, and 35 involved adult women.

Domestic violence against women remains the most reported category, according to Hamid, while psychological violence has been identified as the most common form of abuse suffered by victims.

"Each incoming report represents a vital milestone in guaranteeing that victims obtain protection, assistance, and access to justice," he clarified.

He noted that efforts to prevent violence against women and children require multi-stakeholder synergy through early education, strengthening the role of the family, fostering safe environments, and resolute law enforcement.

"The approach must be integrated from the bottom up. Hopefully, with strong synergy in handling violence, both before and after incidents occur, South Jakarta will be able to achieve its goal of zero violence cases moving forward," he concluded.
