Saraswati's Anger After Hearing About Sexual Harassment Case In Serua Tangsel

TANGERANG SELATAN - Rahayu Saraswati Djojohadikusumo's resentment could not be contained after receiving news of a case of sexual harassment against a woman in South Tangerang. Saraswati asked that this case be taken seriously and not underestimated.

This sexual harassment case took place at a rented house in Parung Benying RT 04/03, Serua Village, Ciputat District, Tangsel. Someone squeezed the breasts of a tenant tenant because of a trivial matter, joking.

The woman, the victim and the perpetrator, was gathered at a rented house with other mothers to eat rujak. The victim threw a joking sentence. Unexpectedly, the sexual harasser responded by squeezing and twisting the victim's breast until it was bruised.

"There should be no neglect of perpetrators of harassment and violence against women. It must be processed legally," said Saraswati, who is now running as a candidate for deputy mayor of Tangsel, Monday, August 31. She strongly condemns anyone who perpetrates sexual harassment and violence against women and children. .

Saraswati admits that there are still many cases of sexual harassment and violence against women and children in Tangsel. He and Muhamad, if elected later, have a program plan that provides stronger protection to victims and recovery assistance from the trauma experienced by the survivors.

"There must be protection for victims, and assistance for recovery of the trauma they experienced," said Saraswati.

To create the city of Tangsel with virtuous citizens, Saraswati once again emphasized that sexual harassment perpetrators should not be ignored.

"Provide protection and recovery assistance to victims. And let's make Tangsel a city that is child-friendly and friendly to women," said the mother of two sons.

Saraswati is a former member of the Indonesian Parliament on Commission VIII. So far, Sarawasti has often voiced more comprehensive protection for women and children from acts of violence and sexual harassment. He has also long been known as an anti-trafficking activist.
