KAI Commuter, the operator of the commuter train service in Indonesia, has recently announced a new initiative to provide support for victims of harassment on its trains. The initiative, called “Beri Pendampingan Korban Pelecehan di Kereta” (Support for Victims of Harassment on Trains), aims to provide assistance and guidance to passengers who have experienced harassment while riding the train.
Harassment on public transportation is unfortunately a common occurrence in many cities around the world, and Indonesia is no exception. Many passengers, especially women and children, have reported incidents of verbal and physical harassment while traveling on trains. These experiences can be traumatic and have a lasting impact on the victims.
In response to this issue, KAI Commuter has decided to take action by providing support for victims of harassment on its trains. The initiative involves training staff members to recognize and respond to incidents of harassment, as well as coordinating with local authorities to ensure that perpetrators are held accountable for their actions.
Additionally, KAI Commuter has set up a dedicated hotline for passengers to report incidents of harassment and receive assistance. The hotline is available 24/7 and can be accessed by dialing a toll-free number. Trained counselors are on hand to provide support and guidance to victims, as well as connect them with local resources for further assistance.
In a statement, KAI Commuter’s CEO emphasized the company’s commitment to creating a safe and comfortable environment for all passengers. “We believe that everyone has the right to travel without fear of harassment or violence,” he said. “By providing support for victims of harassment on our trains, we hope to send a clear message that this behavior will not be tolerated.”
The initiative has been well-received by passengers and advocacy groups, who have praised KAI Commuter for taking proactive steps to address the issue of harassment on trains. Many hope that other transportation providers will follow suit and implement similar programs to ensure the safety and well-being of all passengers.
Overall, KAI Commuter’s “Beri Pendampingan Korban Pelecehan di Kereta” initiative represents a positive step towards creating a safer and more inclusive public transportation system in Indonesia. By providing support for victims of harassment on its trains, KAI Commuter is sending a clear message that everyone deserves to travel without fear of harassment or violence.
