The 2020 Indonesian Women's Violence Note (CATAHU) reports that over three consecutive years, the most frequently reported perpetrators of sexual violence in the personal sphere were boyfriends, totaling 1,320 cases. The next most frequent perpetrators were biological fathers (618 cases) and stepfathers/adoptive fathers (469 cases).
CATAHU 2020 clarifies that the issue of incest and sexual violence within the family is not about the presence or absence of separate bedrooms, but rather the actions of sexual perpetrators from within the family itself. Therefore, sexuality education is necessary to reduce the number of both victims and perpetrators.
