        "content": "<p>BANDUNG \u2014 Sidkon Djampi, a member of the West Java Regional\nLegislative Council from the National Awakening Party (PKB), has backed\nthe launch of the Safe Santri programme and the establishment of\nanti-violence task forces at Islamic boarding schools by the Ministry of\nReligious Affairs.<\/p>\n<p>Sidkon said the measures were important to strengthen protection for\nstudents and ensure that pesantren are safe, comfortable educational\nenvironments that support character development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPesantren play a strategic role in shaping the character of the\nnation\u2019s next generation. That is why protecting students must be a\nshared concern. A place that is supposed to educate and foster good\ncharacter must not become a setting for violence,\u201d Sidkon said on\nThursday (15 October 2026).<\/p>\n<p>He said preventing violence at pesantren required more than issuing\nregulations or forming task forces. Implementation must be accompanied\nby consistent oversight, education for caregivers, and accessible\ncomplaints mechanisms that ensure victims\u2019 safety.<\/p>\n<p>Sidkon also stressed the importance of involving pesantren\nadministrators, teachers, parents and the wider community in building an\neducational culture that respects students\u2019 dignity and rights.<\/p>\n<p>He said the Islamic values taught at pesantren should go hand in hand\nwith respect for humanity. Religious education should not only instil\nobedience, but also foster awareness of the importance of compassion,\nresponsibility and rejecting violence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat needs to be strengthened is the prevention system. If a report\nis made, it must be handled seriously and objectively, with the victim\u2019s\nsafety as the priority. Problems must not be covered up in the name of\nprotecting an institution\u2019s reputation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Sidkon hopes the policy will be implemented on an ongoing basis so\nthat public trust in pesantren is maintained. With strong protections in\nplace, he added, pesantren are expected to continue helping to educate a\ngeneration that is knowledgeable, upright and concerned for others.<\/p>",
