According to a survey in Indonesia in 2020, **** percent of respondents who have experienced sexual violence or know someone who has experienced sexual violence stated that the perpetrator was someone they know. The same survey found that the majority of those who suffered sexual violence were women.

In September 2021, the Indonesian House of Representatives Legislation Body (Baleg) proposed changes in the latest draft of the sexual violence eradication bill (RUU PKS), streamlining **** types of sexual violence into **** types, removing, among others, forced marriage and forced abortion. The chapter that would provide rights to the victims of sexual violence – the right to the judicial process, the right to protection, and the right to recovery – was also removed. Many activists in Indonesia see a risk that the removal of these articles could lead to the degradation of the victim rights during the criminal process.
