After reporting the incident, the team will provide assistance to the victim. The report submitted must include details about how the incident occurred, and data regarding the victim and perpetrator will be kept confidential. The main purpose of reporting is to ensure complete data for appropriate follow-up monitoring and treatment, such as psychological assistance, counseling by a psychiatrist, or even medical examinations such as a post-mortem if necessary. And then continued with the second material presentation session by Dr. Lucky Endrawati, S.H., M.H. regarding Legal Handling of Perpetrators and Survivors of Sexual Violence. She emphasized that cases of sexual violence, bullying and LGBT issues do not recognize victim status, because perpetrators can commit these acts whenever they have the opportunity. In cases of bullying, the perpetrator can be punished with years in prison.
Therefore, if someone encounters bullying, it is important to report it immediately and prevent it well before it becomes a more serious problem.
