In 2020, a survey on gender equality in Indonesia found that close to 72 percent of respondents have experienced sexual violence. The same survey found that the majority of those who suffered sexual violence were women.
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.
