JAKARTA - The Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (KPPPA) seeks to provide protection to women who are football supporters in the PSS Sleman Vs Persib Bandung match who are victims of sexual harassment. "Friends of Women and Children's Service (SAPA) 129 Kemen-PPPA has made efforts to protect women victims of sexual harassment. The final referral service has contacted the Bandung Supporter Alliance Twitter account which has been in contact with victims of sexual harassment and facilitates the needs of victims' recovery," said Assistant Deputy for Women Services for Victims of Kemen-PPPA Violence, Margareth Robin Korwa in a press release in Jakarta, Antara, Monday, August 29. According to him, currently victims of sexual harassment still need psychological intervention as an effort to restore emotional, thinking and social conditions. In the future, the victim will receive further assistance. This is done to deal with the psychological impact the victim feels due to sexual harassment experienced. Margareth said that if it was proven that there was a football fans who committed a criminal act of sexual harassment, Article 4 paragraph (1) in conjunction with Article 6 letter (a) with criminal threats as regulated in Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning the Crime of Sexual Violence (UU TPKS) with a maximum sentence of 4 years and or a fine of IDR 50 million. "Kemen-PPPA akan terus mengawal kasus ini dan memberikan perlindungan kepada korban sesuai dengan kebutuhan korban yang juga seorang suporter bola," ujar Margareth. Kemen-PPPA, he continued, asked all parties to work hand in hand against various forms of sexual harassment, especially to all football supporters to jointly stop the culture of violence. In addition, sports activity organizers must also pay attention to this problem and be more aware of attacks or sexual harassment so that things like this don't happen again, especially those who watch sports matches, especially football so far, are dominated by men. This case was uncovered when one of the Twitter accounts said that one of the female supporters experienced sexual harassment at the match location. The sexual harassment occurred while queuing for a ticket at the PSS Sleman vs Persib Bandung match at the Maguwoharjo Stadium, Sleman City, Yogyakarta, August 19, 2022. The victim admitted that he felt someone embracing and touching his stomach.
