What is the size?
Deputy Minister of Religion, Zainut Tauhid Sa’adi explain the forms of sexual violence regulated in MAP, including verbal, non-physical, physical and technological sexual violence. So what about the whistle?
“The whistles referred to in this rulebook are whistles that have sexual overtones, including whistles that have fun overtones and also contain harassing elements that interfere with comfort,” Zainut told detik.comWednesday (10/19/2022).
The PMA has a victim perspective regarding sexual violence in the educational environment of the Ministry of Religions. Therefore, the size of a particular whistle and look is sexual in nature or not determined by the victim. The measure is the comfort of the victim. If the victim is uncomfortable, it means he is sexual in nature.
“In my opinion, sexual whistling that makes the victim uncomfortable is a certain definition. In cases of sexual assault, the victim’s perspective is important,” said Ministry of Religion spokesperson Anna Hasbie when she was contacted separately. She explained, whistling sexual overtones is equivalent to “calling cat”.
“The technical guidelines resulting from this MAP are currently in preparation,” said Anna.
