Sexual Violence in Educational Settings Continues to Occur: The Data
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
Cases of sexual violence against women in educational settings continue to occur.
According to data from the Indonesian National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan), the highest number of reported cases in the last seven years occurred in 2020, as shown in the graph.
The number of reported cases of sexual violence in educational settings has fluctuated and decreased in 2021.
However, this decrease cannot be considered an improvement, as the potential number of unreported victims may be much higher than the recorded figures.
Komnas Perempuan notes that during the 2017-2021 period, cases of sexual violence in educational settings most frequently occurred in higher education institutions (35 cases), followed by Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) with 16 cases, and senior high schools (SMA) with 15 cases.
The government has responded to this situation by enacting Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Regulation Number 30 of 2021 concerning the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence in Higher Education Institutions.
However, the implementation of this regulation in the field needs continuous monitoring to create a conducive environment for all students in Indonesia.
