The Head of Sub-Directorate for the Center for Excellence in Science and Technology for Disabilities provides reinforcement in Literacy Education: Anti-Violence for UNESA Students with Disabilities.
Unesa.ac.id. SURABAYA—There are many activities that can be carried out to commemorate International Day of Persons with Disabilities (3 December). One of them can be by holding literacy education as carried out by Surabaya State University (UNESA) in the Auditorium of the Faculty of Psychology, UNESA Campus II Lidah Wetan, on Friday, 13 December 2024.
Activities in collaboration with the Task Force for the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence (PPKS) in collaboration with the Center for Excellence in Disability Science entitled "Anti-Violence for UNESA Students with Disabilities."
Head of Sub-Directorate for the Center for Excellence in Science and Technology for Disabilities (PUID), Wagino, said that this event aims to strengthen students with disabilities' understanding of the importance of creating a safe and inclusive environment.
UNESA students with disabilities 'listen' to the PPIS director's speech about preventing violence.
He conveyed the importance of this activity for students with disabilities who have different ways of accessing information. "Through this event, we hope they understand how to create a safe environment, where everyone feels protected," he said.
Wagino added that students with disabilities need to understand their social responsibilities in society. "As adult individuals, there is a responsibility that you must bear for every behavior," he added.
UNESA's Director of Prevention and Management of Strategic Issues (PPIS), Mutimmatul Faidah, emphasized the importance of continuous education in preventing violence. Regardless of whether there are cases or not, outreach must still be carried out.
This anti-violence education is routinely carried out as a prevention effort by UNESA.
He also said that this activity is part of an ongoing program to help students understand the needs of sexuality, social mental changes, and the ability to defend themselves if they become victims of violence.
Realizing the diverse needs of students with disabilities, the organizers provide companions and translators to support accessibility. Each student receives assistance as needed, ensuring that all participants can understand the material presented optimally.
Through this activity, UNESA reinforces its commitment as an inclusive campus that not only supports students with disabilities from an academic perspective, but also protects their rights and their security. "Hopefully all students with disabilities at UNESA will feel comfortable, be able to protect themselves from violence, and will certainly not become perpetrators of violence," hoped Mutimmatul Faidah.[*]
