The legislation had languished for years amid arguments it has a liberal feminist ideology that contravenes religious and cultural values in the world's biggest Muslim-majority nation.
In addition to acknowledging sexual violence as punishable criminal acts, the law has provisions for protection and recovery for the victims. The law was passed a week after an Indonesian high court sentenced an Islamic boarding school principal to death for raping at least 13 students over five years and impregnating some of them. Several girls were 11 and 14 years old and were raped over several years, drawing a public outcry over how he wasn't caught earlier.
Under the new law, perpetrators of electronic-based sexual violence could face up to 4 years imprisonment and a 200 million rupiah fine, and up to 6 years and a 300 million rupiah if it was carried out with the aim of extorting, coercing, and even deceiving victims. Perpetrators of sexual exploitation face up to 15 years in prison and fine of 1 billion rupiah .
