Scores of women and children wearing colourful miniskirts and tight leggings gathered in central Jakarta on Sunday, outraged by a public official's comments that provocatively dressed women are to blame for sexual assaults.

The protest was in response to remarks by the Indonesian capital city's governor Fauzi Bowo, who said on Friday that women must not wear revealing clothes to avoid being raped or victimised.

He quickly apologised, but his comments were publicised widely via local media and Twitter.

The rally called on police and the Indonesian government to do more to protect women and help the victims of sexual assault. Women carried placards saying "Don't tell us how to dress, tell them not to rape", and "My body is not porn, instead it's your dirty mind".

"Public officials should remain silent rather than making discriminatory statements against women. They are supposed to be sensitive and it is their job to find real solution to violence against women," said Tunggal Prawestu, a spokeswoman for the event organisers.

Earlier this month a woman was gang-raped in a minivan, a widely used type of public transport, late at night. According to data from Indonesia's National Commission for Women's Affairs, there have been more than 100,000 cases of violence against women so far this year, of which almost 4 percent were rape cases.

This year, cities around the world have seen 'SlutWalk' rallies, mainly-female protests against sexual violence. While most Indonesians practice a moderate form of Islam, fundamentalists have been pushing hard to impose stricter Islamic laws. In 2008, an anti-pornography law was passed to ban public displays of nudity and "behaviour that could incite lust"

September 19, 2011 Dozens of women and children poured into the streets of Indonesia's capital, Jakarta, Sunday wearing miniskirts and leggings to protest a comment by a city official that women should not dress in skimpy clothing if they want to avoid sexual assault.

Jakarta city governor Fauzi Bowo said Friday that women should avoid wearing revealing clothing to prevent themselves from being raped or attacked, Reuters reports.

The governor apologized, but his message had already been sent around communities via Twitter and social media.

The protesters called on the government to do more to protect women from attacks.

“We feel threatened by the words of public officials regarding miniskirts. They should be giving responses that protect rape victims,” Faiza Mardzoeki, spokeswoman of the Alliance of Women Rejecting Rape, told the Jakarta Post.

“This is a lesson for all public officials in the country. Don’t ever blame women and discriminate on the way we are dressed in a rape case,” she said.

Protesters carried signs Sunday reading, "Don't tell us how to dress, tell them not to rape," and "My body is not porn, instead it's your dirty mind," Reuters reports.

Fauzi's statement came after cases of gang rape in Jakarta on public minivans.

There have been more than 100,000 cases of violence against women in Indonesia so far this year, according to data from Indonesia's National Commission for Women's Affairs, Reuters reports.

tengsz 4 da information.... tapyy.... x bape nk ambek berat... koz x bape nk faham bahse inggeris...

Cerita lebih kurang begini...

Wanita2 di jakarta buat bantahan... sb seorg gabenor di suatu bandar menyalahkan cara pemakaian wanita yg menyebabkan mereka dirogol... ini susulan kes rogol beramai2 seorg wanita di sebuah van awal bulan ini... walaupun gabenor tersebut memohon maaf selepas itu tp ramai wanita masih tdk senang dgn komen tersebut... antara kenyataan2 mereka ialah..

"...jgn beritahu kami bgmana berpakaian, tp beritahu mereka jangan merogol..."
"...badan kami bukan porno... tp fikiran kamu yg kotor..."
"...kami rasa terancam dgn kenyataan begitu... sepatutnya mereka mengeluarkan kenyataan bg melindungi mangsa rogol..."
"...kendalikan nafsumu, bukan kendalikan pakaianku..."
"...bukan pakaian kami yg salah, tp otak kamu yg kotor..."

Menurut data Suruhanjaya Kebangsaan Hal Ehwal Wanita Indonesia, tahun ini sj lebih 100,000 kes keganasan ke atas wanita di mana 4% adalah kes rogol.

owhhh.. tengszz... ha3... sowiee....
tapy arn... btol gark pe kate gabenor tuh... lau dye org pakai pakaian yang elok2 kan.. ok... baru lerh salahkan kaum adam... lau pakai seksi2.. mmg kompem menempah maut arh jawabnye...

tdk jga boleh cakap bgitu... sb lain bangsa lain cara hidup... umpama di pantai, kena juga pakai pakaian sesuai utk mandi laut.. cara pemakaian adalah hak asasi manusia, demikian juga hak tdk mahu dirogol... tp perbuatan merogol bukannya hak asasi... perbuatan rogol berpunca utama drpd pemikiran seseorg itu & bukannya drpd cara pakaian org lain... budak kecil, bayi, ada juga dirogol... org tua juga, malah anak sendiri banyak kes dirogol... tiada kaitan dgn pakaian...

saya setuju, kejadian rogol bukan disebabkan pakaian tp disebabkan oleh fikiran/niat buruk si perogol... di negara arab juga berlaku rogol, di mana2 rogol... mungkin di kalangan org2 asli yg berpakaian setakat menutup bhg kemaluan sj pula yg kurang kes rogol... sya akui mmg ada peratusan sangat kecil disebabkan cara berpakaian, tp punca utama adalah minda/otak yg kotor & jahat...
