REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, MALANG -- Mothers from the community of concerned women of Indonesia (KPPI) in Malang, Eat Java, declared anti-violence against women and children. Malang’s Mayor M. Anton also attended the declaration that was held at Jalan Simpang Racing, on Sunday (29/5).

This action was fueled by the growing cases of violence against women and children that are occurring in some areas of Indonesia. The main importance of this movement is to encourage law enforcers to bring justice and fairness towards violence against children and women.

Crimes like this must be resisted by the government and elements of society. “Movement like this is a first real step in restraining violence on children and women “ he said. According to Anton, the public should pay attention to crimes relating to children and women for the future of the nation.

Malang government, said Anton, has started to issue an appeal for parents to turn off television between the time of Maghreb to Isha prayers. Umi hopes that the appeals will make children uses that time to learn. “The movement of the prayers is also important to set a good example to children,” said Anton.

The Declaration banner to reject violence against children and woman was signed by mothers who participated in the protest. Mayor Anton and his wife signature did not miss this opportunity to sign as a form of support.

Chairman of the community of concerned women of Indonesia (KKPPI) Ya’qud Ananda Gudban addressed that this movement need to be done on a larger scale. Relentless movement such as this one is intended to be a catalyst to prevent all future crimes against children and women to occur in Malang.

“I think not only the community but all parties have the same concerns,” said Ya’qud. He says children who grow up in the digital era today require more attention. Given that in the age of globalisation, bad influences and pornographic content can easily permeate children’s daily life.
