Six villages in Sigi District — Rarampadende, Pesaku, Ngatabaru, Pombewe, Wisolo, and Ramba — supported by the KARSA Institute and CARE Indonesia, have declared their commitment to creating safe spaces for women and children (18/06). They have committed to the Women and Child-Friendly Villages (DRPPA) initiative along with the Friends of Women and Children program (SAPA). It is part of the Strengthening the Resilience of Women and Youth Program, supported by UN Women, the Sigi District Government, and funded by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).
The DRPPA declaration reflects the six villages dedication to promoting the support of women and children through inclusive village services and gender-responsive governance. Moving forward, each village will strengthen the SAPA program and village-level of Women and Children Protection Task Forces (Satgas PPA) to ensure continued efforts in providing a safe and supportive environment.
