Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities just held the Raboan Discussion Forum on Wdnesday (20/06). On that occasion, the title raised was Human Rights Perspective on Abortion for Rape Victims. The material was presented by the speaker: dr. Wika Hartanti MIH. Meanwhile, the moderator is dr. Tiea Khatija.

Framing the problem: rape victim were criminalized for conducting an unsafe abortion, and rape victim was denied access to legal abortion. Expert group meeting report 2020, stated that rape is a systematic violation of human rights which is very sad and very serious, because often many cases are not processed and not resolved, and victims do not get their rights as victims. So it is hoped that there will be a better system of regulation in the handling of rape victims and that the victims get their rights.

There are cases of minors who are victims of rape. In these 2 cases, one of the victims (15 years old) had an abortion with her mother when she was 6 months pregnant, while the second victim (12 years old) applied for an abortion, but was rejected by the police and the court because she was already 2 months pregnant. The obstacle that is always faced by victims is proof that they are victims.

HR recommendation on abortion in Indonesia from SR on Health (UN GA 2018):
• Respect, protect and fulfill the right to health of women and girls by removing barriers to their sexual and reproductive rights
• Ending the criminalization of abortion and ensuring access to abortion services
• Providing sexual and reproductive health information, service, and goods, particularly comprehensive age-sensitive and inclusive sexual education in secondary schools.

The state’s obligation to provide access to safe abortion must consider the complex nature of rape cases, and regulation must be oriented towards facilitating, and not hindering, the safety and well-being of rape victims. Further studies and discussions/dialogues are critical to foster a better understanding of our society’s context, perspective, and needs, which can inform the policy and regulation of reproductive health services in Indonesia.

Minority Group Spiritual Reflection [Raboan Discussion Forum]

/in , /by

The Center for Bioethics and Medical Humanities again held the Raboan Discussion Forum on Wednesday (6/7). The topic raised on the occasion was entitled Reflection on the Spirituality of Gender Minority Groups. The topic was presented by the speaker Desy Putri Ratnasari, S.Si., M.Sc. Meanwhile, the role of the moderator is dr. Galuh Dyah Fatmala.

Desy’s background in conducting research with the theme of Gender Minority is that there is still a negative stigma given to this group. Data obtained by Desy from LBH shows that gender minorities are often seen as a threat to the nation, sexual crimes deviant behavior, and so on. Not only stigma, but discriminatory actions are also often found by gender minority groups in various institutions. According to data from LBH, religious institutions are the institutions that often discriminate.

As a researcher, Desy feels the need to explore more about the spiritual aspect of an individual belonging to a gender minority group. In the literature, it is said that spirituality is different from religion. Spirituality is defined as something that is beyond religious and deep in individual people. Spirituality is an attitude of seeking a meaningful connection with something than yourself which can result in positive emotions such as peace, awe contentment, gratitude, and acceptance.

In this study, Desy used the SOGIESC (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression, Sexual characteristic) approach. The SOGIESC approach is a concept regarding the need for sexual orientation and gender which is created to open the public’s mind more broadly about the diversity of sexual orientation and gender. This approach seeks to capture and at the same time show gender and sexuality, including their complexity.

From research conducted on gender minority individuals and communities in Yogyakarta, Desy concluded three things, namely:
1. they can find their identity even though they get negative stigma and discriminatory treatment from society, they can make peace with themselves and can even actualize themselves
2. they can forgive and help people who have treated them badly by continuing to do good deeds
3. they can express spirituality and live it through their ways and ways of doing this because they believe that the relationship with the Creator is the most important and important thing in life.
