Sexual Assault Cases- Cause and Movement
Hello readers!
This is my first time sharing to you guys about topic that may not be concern for my purpose to do blogging. But I think I have to share this topic according to my perspective and this is my very first time to using english as a medium instruction. Then if I make mistakes please to correct by comment on section below so I can learn from that.
According to wikipedia.org sexual assault is an act in which person intentionally sexually touches another person without that person's consent, or coerces or physically forces a person to engage in a sexual act against their will. Sexually touches which means touching another person with any part of the body including wore by the person (such as clothing) where a reasonable person would consider the touching to be sexual. So a person doing physical contact to another person without their permission or by forcing to do sexual things. There are many types of this assault including rape, groping, sexual harassment, and others. But now our concern will be sexual harassment, according to EEOC sexual harassment guideline as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical
conduct of a sexual nature. Sexual harassment include many thing for example whistles or known by catcalling when someone walk by.
According to article wrote in June 2019 about 31% women experienced sexual harassment and 7% for men, and only 43% that reported. Victims more likely told to their friends by 55% or family 47% rather than police with only 8%. Low number of reported cases by embarassment reason, this is very understanding because in Indonesia do not applied by sex educations at formal school and only few parents explained to their children. Dr Boyke Dian, a sexologist revealed that parents are still confused how to teach proper sex educations to their children (kompasiana).
From the article we knew that women sexual assault cases at Central Java increased in 6 years, about 2.591 cases happen in Semarang the biggest city in that province. Central Java is the 3rd biggest population in Indonesia (34 millions populations). According to LRC-KJHAM data in January-August 2020 they received about 70 cases reported. They said this cases increased 40% during pandemic situation.
There are many cases reported mostly women sexual assault and men cases are rarely published in media. Are women awareness have effect with the big number cases that reported or not? I do not think that it is true there are so many reason that will cause it and all not about the victim. The one that must be blame is the person that cause assault. Is the reported cases ended with the person who did rape punished or the victim took that rights they deserved? NO why? Because in this country do not have constitution that contains all about sexual assault cases how they got the punishment, how the victim may have their defends, etc. The only existed constitution are about it is functions such as assault that may happen with children only written on their own, that is not complete to cover whole cases.
Legislative will discuss about sexual assault constitution in 2021. Good signal for the problem solution that have been postponed because it does not have the constitution released yet. According to article the council have not release because the differences perspective in council itself by reason of they could not produce constitution that crashed one to another. Council still debating about the penalty that may written if the constitution has release in the future.
This topic still be sensitive to talk in any places and arguing cause they have many different opinions. Many people still fighting for their rights so that their voices can be heard by the law makers. In that movement we all hoping that this cases might decreasing or perhaps not happen again in the future.
