Students campaign for sexual rights

D

ozens of senior high school and university students as well as members of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities voiced the need for stronger sexual and reproductive rights protection in a peaceful rally to commemorate World Sexual Health Day at the Adipura Monument traffic circle in Bandarlampung on Monday.

The young people joined the One Vision Alliance of Lampung (ASVL) to campaign for wider access to sexual and reproductive services. Dwi Hafsah Handayani, rally coordinator from the Lampung branch of the Indonesian Planned Parenthood Association (PKBI), said all Indonesians should have their sexual and reproductive health rights acknowledged, protected and met by the country.

'€œThe country must provide sexual and reproductive health services and acknowledgment and protection to adolescents, women and groups vulnerable to sexual and gender-based injustice,'€ said Hafsah.
