        "summary": "Minister of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Arifah Fauzi has stated that sexual violence cases must not be resolved through restorative justice or family settlements and must go through judicial proceedings. She acknowledged current reporting mechanisms are often convoluted, causing victims to shuttle between agencies and become discouraged. The ministry is now piloting an integrated service system in Jakarta to provide security, health, and other needs under one roof before expanding nationwide.",
        "content": "<p>The Minister for Women Empowerment and Child Protection (PPPA),\nArifah Fauzi, has emphasised that no cases of sexual violence should be\nresolved through peaceable settlements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom several existing cases, there are indeed instances where\nmatters are settled peacefully. However, for sexual violence cases,\nthere must be no restorative justice,\u201d Arifah stated when met at City\nHall, Jakarta, on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, sexual violence cases must be processed through the\njudicial system and cannot be resolved through familial or\ncommunity-based mediation.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Arifah acknowledged that in the field, cases are still\nfrequently passed from one agency to another. Consequently, she believes\nthat a pilot programme for providing integrated services for women and\nchildren needs to be implemented.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo far, victims often have to move from one reporting centre to\nanother, then are transferred to the next agency, and even sent back to\nthe previous one. It is this condition that ultimately makes victims\nreluctant to report,\u201d said Arifting.<\/p>\n<p>Arifah noted that one of the primary causes is the overly complicated\nreporting process.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, she continued, the Ministry of PPPA is initiating a move\nso that all agencies involved in victim handling can operate within a\nsingle integrated service system, or ideally, under one roof.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this way, the victim\u2019s needs regarding security, health, and\nother requirements can be met in one place. However, this will certainly\nrequire a long process. Therefore, we are starting in DKI Jakarta,\u201d\nArifah remarked.<\/p>\n<p>She revealed that if the programme runs successfully in the capital\nand has been evaluated for perfection, it will subsequently be\nimplemented in other regions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we proceed, we will continue to learn, identify existing\nshortcomings, improve them, and ensure that the rights of victims can be\nbetter fulfilled,\u201d concluded Arifah.<\/p>",
