JAKARTA - The Central Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) asks the public, including social media users, to support them in investigating sexual harassment and bullying experienced by their employees, MS.

This was conveyed by him in response to the hectic attacks of netizens or netizens on the Central KPI social media accounts on Instagram and Twitter.

"I convey to all netizens, KPI netizens and netizens who ask for their support. We will not remain silent on this issue," said Central KPI Commissioner Nuning Rodiyah to VOI when contacted by telephone, Thursday, September 1.

The Central KPI, he continued, promised to continue to process allegations of sexual violence and bullying of its employees. "And we will not hesitate, as I said, there is no tolerance whatsoever for perpetrators of sexual violence," said Nuning.

In addition, the Central KPI asks for support from all parties so that the process of investigating acts of sexual harassment and bullying internally can run smoothly. So, cases like this do not happen again in the institution or in other places.

In addition, he hopes that victims of sexual harassment and bullying will be given the courage to tell the truth.

"Lesson learned from this incident, the victims outside other than MS also had the courage to convey the bullying incident that happened to him. So that this doesn't happen again to those around us," said Nuning.

As previously reported, MS said he was a victim of sexual harassment and bullying by seven of his more senior colleagues.

One of the sexual harassments she experienced was in 2015, when the perpetrators violently grabbed her head, hands, feet, stripped her naked, stabbed her, and abused her.

"(They, ed) harassed me by scribbling on my testicles using markers," said MS in a chain message he sent because he felt it was his last resort.

"This incident traumatized me and I lost my emotional stability. How can this kind of evil harassment happen at the Central KPI? What kind of syndicate is the perpetrator? They even documented my gender and made me powerless against them after the tragedy," he added.

As a result of the harassment and bullying he received, MS's mentality changed and he experienced severe stress, humiliation, and severe trauma. In fact, he admitted, often shouted to himself in the middle of the night.
