Student Protest

Student Protest in Jakarta

More than Sex: Indonesian Students as Last Line of Defense for Justice

Opinion
More than romanticizing the Reformation in 1998, the student protest was incited by numerous controversial bills to be passed by the parliament. One of them being the Revision to the Criminal Code (RKUHP) which is now being framed as the ‘Sex Law’ by many international media. The reason why it’s referred as the ‘Sex Law’ is probably because its parts that would criminalize pre-marital sex and same-sex relations. But this label does not do justice, both to the Criminal Code revision and also to the current student movement in Indonesia.
