View all search resultsThe sexual violence bill (RUU PKS) has been criticized for being proadultery. That’s what Maimon Herawati, Farah Qoonita and Zahra Maulidinah, three conservative Muslim women who set up petitions against the RUU PKS, claim. They assert that the bill makes it possible for sexual behaviors forbidden by religion (Islam) — casual sex, lesbians, gays, bisexual and transgender sex, etc., to be accommodated.
The government has failed to create a safe environment for all and a legal umbrella to protect citizens from sexual harassment. Efforts to pass a sexual violence bill are going back and forth, with conservatives claiming that the proposed law violates Islamic values.
Baiq Nuril Maqmun, a West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) woman convicted for defaming her alleged sexual harasser, seems set to receive presidential amnesty after President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo sent a letter recommending amnesty to the House of Representatives.
