JAKARTA The number of cases of sexual violence that have recently occurred and have gone viral on social media, the Legal Resources Center for General Justice and Human Rights (LRC KJHAM) has asked law enforcement officials to be more likely to ensnare perpetrators of not sexual violence against women by using the Law on the Crime of Sexual Violence. The goal is that the perpetrators are deterrent.
Head of the Information and Documentation Division of LRC KJHAM Citra Ayu Kurniawati noted that only one case of violence against women in Central Java was charged with implementing Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning the Crime of Sexual Violence (TPKS).
"The TPKS Law is a big hope for victims of sexual violence in accessing justice, so it must continue to be guarded together," said Citra Ayu, Antara, Thursday, June 28.
According to him, the high number of cases of violence against women has not been balanced with access to services for victims.

Cases of sexual violence against women in Central Java, said Citra Ayu, have increased. In the 2017-2021 period, LRC KJHAM recorded 1,249 cases of violence against women occurred in Central Java, while in 2022 128 cases were recorded.
"About 70 percent of the cases that occurred, women became victims of sexual violence," he said.
Therefore, he encouraged law enforcement officials to ensnare perpetrators of not sexual violence against women by using Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning TPKS because the existence of the law is an attempt to reform the law to prevent, deal with, protect, and recover victims of sexual violence.
