Women and children who become victims are experiencing security and safety issues. Protection of women and children is done by various parties including the government.

The Safe House sholud have a proper standard that ensure woman and children in this location feeling safe, especially in maintaining the quality of their mental health. The problem is the lack of government supervision, so the service quality is below standard.The study was conducted on 12 people, including 9 residents of Safe House and 3 members of Safe House management.
