        "summary": "Recent incidents of sexual violence at Indonesian universities, including cases at Universitas Budi Luhur, Universitas Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa, and allegations involving 16 students at Universitas Indonesia's Faculty of Law, have prompted calls for national-level government action. DPR Commission X member Habib Syarief Muhammad urged the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology to implement comprehensive policies, safe reporting mechanisms, and stronger regulations to prevent such occurrences and ensure campuses remain safe spaces. Minister Brian Yuliarto echoed this stance, declaring zero tolerance for any form of violence in higher education institutions.",
        "content": "<p>Sexual violence cases on university campuses or higher education\ninstitutions have occurred in recent times. The first case involved\nsexual violence at Universitas Budi Luhur (UBL), where a lecturer\ntargeted a student. Another sexual violence case occurred at Universitas\nSultan Ageng Tirtayasa (Untirta), affecting a student once again. Member\nof Commission X of the DPR, Habib Syarief Muhammad, emphasised that\nsexual violence in the education sector constitutes a serious violation\nof human values. According to him, the government, through the Ministry\nof Higher Education, Science, and Technology (Kemendiktisaintek), needs\nto intervene in the issue from a policy perspective. \u201cHandling these\ncases must not be done partially and left entirely to individual\ncampuses. This has become a national issue that requires comprehensive\nintervention and policies from the government,\u201d said Syarief on\nWednesday (15\/4\/2026). He also advocated for safe reporting mechanisms\nfor victims of sexual violence and the strengthening of regulations. The\ngovernment, Syarief stressed, needs to make a bold move from a policy\nstandpoint to prevent sexual violence cases in the education sector from\nrecurring. \u201cCampuses must be safe spaces for the entire academic\ncommunity. The state must not neglect in guaranteeing such protection,\u201d\nsaid Syarief. This emphasis was made in response to allegations of a\nsexual violence case involving 16 students from the Faculty of Law at\nUniversitas Indonesia (FH UI). \u201cWe emphasise that there must be no\ntolerance for any form of violence on campus, in whatever form,\u201d stated\nthe Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology\n(Mendiktisaintek), Brian Yuliarto, in an official statement on Wednesday\n(15\/4\/2026).<\/p>",
