Given its status as a safe house, information concerning this shelter's location has to be maintained.
"Just because we have constructed this Rumah SAPA, it does not mean that our job is over," she noted through a statement on Thursday.
"After this, there are many things that we have to do in relation to resiliency strengthening and empowerment that violence survivors need, so that they can rise up again from their past hardship," she remarked.
Protection and recovery-stage victims in need of Rumah SAPA's facility can contact the SAPA 129 call center service.
Rumah SAPA is the realization of one of the duties of the Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Ministry to provide temporary shelter.

This shelter is one of the services that exist to provide protection to women and child victims of violence that require special protection in accordance with the established mechanism.
Rumah SAPA will also serve as a transit location to distribute cases that require other residential services, based on the result of case identification, authority criteria, and emergency status, in accordance with the central authority.
"We continue to conduct synergy, collaboration, and innovation with other ministries/institutions, regional governments, and stakeholders," Puspayoga noted.
The existence of Rumah SAPA is expected to serve as a reference point for the Women and Child Protection Regional Technical Acting Unit (UPTD PPA) across Indonesia to form a similar shelter service, she remarked.
The minister also urged the people, who experienced, heard, witnessed, or knew about cases of violence to report them through the Women and Child Friendly (SAPA) 129 hotline number or through WhatsApp number: 08111-129-129.
