Alleged Student Rape: What University Efforts Can Deal With Sexual Violence?
Harian Press. Prolonged conversations about alleged rape Agni, a student at Gajah Mada University, Yogyakarta when KKN raises questions about how institutions with large communities such as universities, handle cases of alleged violence or sexual abuse.
Alleged rapists also UGM students. Panut Chancellor Mulyono told reporters on Friday (09/11) that he hoped the alleged victims and perpetrators "will graduate from UGM to be better than they are now."
Not all universities in Indonesia, according to Komnas Perempuan's records, have procedures for dealing with sexual violence.
"Not all campuses have SOPs dealing with sexual violence. In fact, at the high school level there is already Minister of Education and Culture Number 82/2015 which regulates sanctions for violence and bullying, including handling them," Commissioner of Komnas Perempuan, Masruchah, told Quiniawati Pasaribu.
In Komnas Perempuan's record, said Masruchah, the new Jakarta Theological College has guidelines for non-violence in educational institutions.
According to Masruchah, it is important for the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education (Kemendikti) to stipulate that each university must have procedures for cases of sexual violence.
The incident that happened to Gadjah Mada University (UGM) students with a pseudonym Agni took place in the middle of last year in Maluku and was reported to the university, said Suharti, director of Rifka Annisa, an institution that accompanied victims.
This case became a national issue after UGM student media, Balairungpress.com revealed it, with exposures of alleged sexual assault events, which gave rise to its own debate about the extent to which details of sexual assault could be described.
Hall said, such details were written based on the victim's agreement.
The case is considered complete?
The event took place during the Community Service Program (KKN) in Maluku last year. The suspect is a fellow student from the KKN. Allegations of rape were said to take place when the two were forced to stay in the same room in the house of a resident.
UGM Spokesperson, Iva Ariani, said the case had been declared completed by the university with all recommendations issued by the Investigation Team consisting of the Psychology Team, the Faculty of Engineering and the UGM Faculty of Social and Political Sciences.
These recommendations include improving the value of Agni's Community Service (KKN) as a victim, which was originally C to A / B, compensation for tuition, and receiving counseling facilities.
"Most of the recommendations have been made, the victims are now in UGM psychology assistance," said the UGM Spokesperson and Protocol.
In addition, said Iva Ariani, the alleged perpetrators were also still subject to sanctions, namely repetition of KKN in the following semester.
"He (the alleged perpetrator) has already been sanctioned, that is, he was immediately withdrawn from the KKN location in Seram and received a one-semester suspension for KKN. But it can take part in KKN again after the next year, and it has all been implemented," he continued.
That means, said Iva, as long as the process has not been completed, the alleged perpetrators cannot be passed.
Dead end
Meanwhile, Suharti, director of Rifka Annisa, the institution that accompanied the victims, said that he had conveyed information about victims' rights to Agni and discussed alternative solutions through legal channels.
Assistance by Rifka Annisa began since September 2017 after the victim came to access services in her office.
The problem is, often the legal process is faced with a deadlock, due to various factors, said Suharti. As a result, the victim did not get justice.
"With these legal constraints, it is important to find alternative solutions that provide protection and a sense of justice for victims by prioritizing the principle of consent from victims," said Suharti.
What is also very important and urgent, said the Commissioner of the National Commission on Violence Against Women, Masruchah, is the establishment of mechanisms and special institutions in universities to handle cases of sexual harassment or attacks.
"There should also be things like (at STT Jakarta) in universities (other), because there are quite a lot of facts about sexual violence at college," he continued.
At STT Jakarta, said Masruchah since students were just starting to study, they had been introduced to guidelines for anti-sexual violence behavior.
"The guideline is a basis that is signed by all parties, that they may not commit sexual violence in any form. If they do it will be ready to be dismissed or there will be action from the campus. Sanctions are strict," explained Masruchah.
While at the University of Indonesia (UI) Jakarta, said Masruchah, it was only limited to the introduction in the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences and not yet become the rector's policy.
"That is also because the number of active female UI activist friends is included in the 16 Days Non-Violence campaign."
