Places where people experienced sexual violence Indonesia 2020
In September 2021, the Indonesian House of Representatives Legislation Body (Baleg) proposed changes in the latest draft of the sexual violence eradication bill (RUU PKS), streamlining nine types of sexual assaults into four types, removing, among others, forced marriage and forced abortion. The chapter that would have provided rights to the victims of sexual violence – the right to the judicial process, the right to protection, and the right to recovery – was also removed. Many activists in Indonesia see a risk that the removal of these articles could lead to the degradation of the victims' access to their rights during the criminal process.
