Indonesia’s armed forces have finally ended all so-called “virginity tests” as part of the recruitment process for women.

The silencing of survivors happens in many (nuanced) ways. One of them is the attitudes that are held by those in positions of power. #BelieveSurvivors #StopTheViolence
When those in power express their problematic attitudes and mindsets, survivors become unwilling to employ the mechanisms that are available to access the assistance they need.
We all carry the responsibility to understand sexual violence for what it is, and to unlearn the problematic mindsets which drive and aggrevate sexual violence in our communities.
