I’m
Peemi Guswita Zalukhu, here is the resume of the activities I participated in
from the Stube HEMAT Bengkulu community at Arastamar Theological College of
Bengkulu/STTAB (Saturday, 26/02/2022). The activity is carried out at 20.00
s.d. 21.30 WIB with Dr(c). Samuel Purdaryanto, M.Pd.K., M.Th. as the resource
person.
Women and children often become the center of attention because they often suffer from violence done by men. The Indonesian government produced the laws to protect children and women, as well as to eradicate violence cases against children and women. Even every year the number is not decreasing but increasing, and happening everywhere. The new highlighted case is the case of Heri Wiran, an ustad who raped 12 students in Bandung. Pesantren, a place of religious education that should be safe for students have become places of violence. Other cases also occurred in many religious places spread across the country.
Bengkulu
with its 10 regencies recorded 1.054 cases of violence occurring in the 2019-2021
period (source: Bengkulu PUPA Foundation). In 2020 there were 52 cases of women
and children aged 0-12 years, from 13-17 there were 64 cases, aged 60 up were 6
cases. From the available data, it can be concluded that the highest level of
violence occurs among children and adolescents that has received less attention
from the public. There are 2 kinds of violence case that occur, 1) in the
family, as the husband assumes that his wife and children are private property
so he is free to do anything, 2) in the education environment, the case is
varied and the victims are in the 6th grade of elementary school, 3rd junior
high school and graduated from high school. In early 2021, a pregnant woman in
Tanjung Anum was killed by her husband because of accusations of infidelity.
LPSK (Witness and Consumer Protection Body) stated that in June 2021, there
were 18 cases of domestic violence, especially during the pandemic which
affected the family's economic situation. Hilda Niwati, from the Bengkulu
Social Service, said that sexual violence was increasing until November 2021
and the perpetrators were people closest to the victim, such as father, uncle,
grandfather, or other relatives.
As the closing statement of the discussion, regarding the religious institution and the protection of women and children, the resource person stated that religion in Indonesia actually prevents chaos but in reality, there are still many religious institutions that have not been effective to protect women and children. Religious education is very important, because of the good values taught, such as an attitude of loving one another. The discussion participants are candidates of religious leaders who must learn from various existing cases to prevent violations of the protection of women and children. (PGZ).
