JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of Commission X of the House of Representatives, Lalu Hadrian Irfani, regretted the alleged sexual harassment case that occurred at the Faculty of Law, University of Indonesia (FH UI). The reason is that sexual violence cases in the campus environment often recur even though there is a legal umbrella that regulates the crime.
"In fact, the legal umbrella is clear. The government is preparing a legal umbrella through the Ministry of Education and Culture Decree Number 55 of 2024 concerning the prevention of acts of violence in the educational environment, especially on campus," said Lalu at the DPR building, Senayan, Jakarta, Tuesday, April 14.
"Well, this problem keeps repeating itself, it shows that we are all educators, I don't want to blame anyone, we are all policy makers in the field of education, we haven't really implemented this policy, implemented that rule. So this keeps repeating itself," he continued.
According to Lalu, the lack of firm action against sexual violence has resulted in perpetrators daring to commit repeated crimes. Moreover, lately it often occurs in the educational environment.
"This is everywhere, it keeps repeating. Moreover, this happened in a campus that today is the pride of Indonesia, one of them is one of the pride of Indonesia," said the NTB legislator.
Therefore, Lalu hopes that the rectorate of the UI campus must be truly transparent in opening all of these problems to the public.
"So what? So that security, the atmosphere on campus can be created. Now there is no more comfort on campus, there is no sense of security on campus that the campus should guarantee," said Lalu.
Then emphasized that the campus is a place to educate, and prepare the next generation of the nation. Therefore, he asked all academic circles to become a place to educate and prepare the next generation of the nation.
"So the campus must ensure security, the atmosphere must be properly maintained, and it must be properly guaranteed by the campus," he concluded.
