The DKI Jakarta branch of the RMI-NU (Nahdlatul Ulama Islamic Boarding School Association) has expressed deep concern over recent statements normalizing sexual abuse within Islamic boarding schools. The organization strongly condemns the suggestion that sexual harassment is somehow acceptable or commonplace. RMI-NU DKI Jakarta emphasizes that sexual violence is a crime and a violation of Islamic teachings, and should be reported and addressed seriously. They are pushing for an end to the normalization of such acts and advocating for a safe learning environment for students. The group fears these statements could discourage victims from coming forward and hinder efforts to prevent abuse. They call for comprehensive measures to protect students and ensure accountability for perpetrators. This statement follows growing public awareness of sexual abuse cases within Indonesian pesantren (Islamic boarding schools).
