Eighty years after Indonesia's independence, sexual harassment and violence still exist within the nation’s universities. This quantitative study reveals that incidents of sexual violence are common on campuses, despite the Ministry of Education and Culture’s stance condemning these acts in educational settings. Many female students report verbal harassment, including being targets of inappropriate jokes, and half have faced physical harassment. Perpetrators include not only male peers or seniors but also teaching assistants and lecturers, indicating asymmetric power relations that facilitate such abuse. While some victims have reported incidents, aiming to hold perpetrators accountable, most remain silent and only share their experiences with close friends rather than authorities. These findings show the urgent need for strong institutional support and preventative measures to ensure that campuses can truly be safe spaces for students.
