It occurs in homes, schools, alternative care system, penal system, and in the streets. Indonesia is urged to formulate further strategy on reducing VaC in school setting. Prior to policy and program strengthening, a comprehensive understanding on what has been studied about ViS and what policy and legal framework available nationally and regionally is necessary for the development of systematic and efficient action to end VaC in education setting.
