JAKARTA - Chairman of the National Commission on Violence against Women (Komnas Perempuan) Andy Yentriyani said that rape is actually the seed or DNA of the Draft Law (RUU) on the Crime of Sexual Violence (TPKS). " said the Chairperson of Komnas Perempuan Andy Yentriyani during a discussion entitled "Rape Can't Be Regulated in the TPKS Bill?" monitored in Jakarta, Tuesday 5 APRI. The victims, he continued, are sometimes referred to as victims of sexual abuse, sexual harassment or abuse. This is to refer to the act of rape, which now has better access to justice and recovery. During the discussion, Andy told the history of efforts to formulate the Law on the Crime of Sexual Violence related to the birth of Komnas Perempuan. Komnas Perempuan was born during the May riots tragedy as a initial background. At that time, rape and sexual violence took place in the midst of looting and arson that occurred in Jakarta and other big cities. First, at the internal level or in Indonesia, namely from the Fact Finding Team. In its findings, it is stated that acts of sexual violence will be difficult to address because of the limitations of the criminal law system.
"One of them is because the definition of rape is very limited," he said. At that time, protection for victims to reveal the cases they experienced was still very limited. "Besides there is also a culture of denial or a culture of blaming the victim," he said. From the cases recorded, rape cases are always the largest component of reported cases.
