JAKARTA - The Indonesian House of Representatives Commission X plans to schedule a Working Meeting with the Minister of Education and Culture, Research and Technology Nadiem Makarim, to discuss the polemic of Permendikbud Number 30 of 2021 concerning the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence in universities. the. According to him, the polemic arose because of differences in perceptions of the candy.

“In fact, we are working to make the campus a safe and conducive place. Don't let this chaos cause this effort to regress and even be hampered," Hetifah said in a statement, Friday, November 12.

Hetifah reminded the importance of the support of all parties to focus on eradicating acts of sexual violence in educational institutions. This is because sexual violence in educational institutions is still rampant. "This happens because the perpetrators take advantage of the existing power imbalance, for example by lecturers against students," he said.

According to Hetifah, the hierarchical inequality that exists in educational institutions is often misused by those who have the power to commit acts of sexual violence. Therefore, Hetifah reminded, the different interpretations of the regulation must be straightened out.

Golkar itself, continued Hetifah, appreciated the efforts of the Ministry of Education and Culture in preventing sexual violence through Permendikbud Number 30/2021. However, Hetifah suggested that the regulation in the Permendikbud be revised and better socialized to prevent multiple interpretations.

"The Golkar faction asserts that it is impossible for Golkar to accept regulations aimed at legalizing free sex in educational institutions. Moreover, the Golkar Party always upholds the values of Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution," added Hetifah. . Meanwhile, the PKS faction was the strongest in criticizing the Permendikbud, Research and Technology because it was considered to be the same as legalizing adultery. The points that are highlighted in Permendikbud, Research and Technology Number 30 of 2021 include: 1. Obligations to form a Task Force

One of the highlights of this Permendikbud came from a member of Commission X DPR RI from the PKS faction Sakinah Aljufri. He questioned the need for the campus to create a Task Force for the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence.

2. Victim's Interest

Furthermore, this Permendikbud was criticized by a member of the DPR from the PKS faction, Ledia Hanifa Amaliah. One of them is because there is no religious norm in Article 3 which explains the prevention of sexual violence.

Article 3 Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence is carried out with the following principles: a. the best interests of the Victim; b. justice and gender equality; c. equality of rights and accessibility for persons with disabilities; d. accountability; e. independent; f. prudence; g. consistent; danh. non-repetition guarantee.
