you know, will provide a comprehensive legal framework for cases of sexual abuse. until now, the issue's been regarded as a private matter. victims will receive compensation. unsung collage, equal support. nancy alone, indonesia sought nearly 340000 cases of violence against women. jessica washington is in jakarta. she has more on indonesia is increasing problem of sexual violence. indonesian ministers have really described those numbers. it's just the tip of the iceberg. because indonesia, like many countries around the world, does have a problem with under reporting when it comes to sexual violence. and part of the reason for that is that in the past avenues with justice, all survive is of sexual assault. have been limited and there are hopes today that going forward with the passing of this field that can change with now clearer avenues for survivors of sexual abuse to build a case and to secure convictions against perpetrators. now 2 of the key features of

this landmark legislation include firstly that it takes what women's rights groups and survive as rights groups have called a victim centered approach. this legislation is not just about convictions for perpetrators of sexual abuse, but after an abuse happens, what happens to the victim? specifically, there is a victim of funds for compensation, which would ensure that a victim is able to secure compensation regardless of the financial status of the perpetrator of the assault. secondly, there are also other avenues with me and psychological support. but the other interesting factor about this legislation is that it's outlined some of the nuances, the different kinds of sexual abuse, including online sexual abuse, non physical, sexual harassment, forced marriage among other other ways that a person can be abuse going forward, women's rights groups and survivors rights groups are hopeful that it will empower

more survivors to come forward and to seek justice. we can speak now to on the yet jani. she's chairwoman of the communist pedant plan, which is the national commission on violence against women which wrote the bail. she joins us now from jakarta. that was actually your group, the national commission of violence against women. which 1st propose this idea of this legislation nearly a decade ago. you must be pleased at finding gone 3 right. lee in a nice thing. but monica mess from one particular, i mean they are really appreciate the fact that we know house is more comprehensive from work on sexual violence that we and those over the past. when we 1st actually acknowledge that the trend of the report was actually increasing. and

in the last 2 years, during the, the me, it's actually fight from one to like more than 3000 cases. last year we just like an interest 70 percent from previous year only on 6 on while. and so this is really, really being in the same friends because we definitely are handling on 6 violence. tell us practically how this bill will actually help victims of sexual violence. mostly and for most is actually the full crimes of sexual violence that previously took as criminal acts or partially will lead to which include sexual harassment, both physical and mom physical. and it also look at the issue for one protection as well as the cause of barry zation, even post marriage. we just very controversial in indonesia. and

it also regulates and read that about sexual butcher and sexual exploitation as one of the most lever and the increasing number of electrons based effects all valid. and so these are at least some of the, the crimes that been regulated directly in the law. and we are also waiting to have a better definition on rape, as well as post abortion, since it will be regulated under our criminal law. but it has like what we call it, the bridging article in this current and sexual violence law that enable the fix of rape and force abortion to also enjoy the better law on present during that biggest thinking that just this for and also a certain, i mean a best there's that, i'll stick them right,

which include the protection and also i think i'll very even post court results and briefly sexual violence complaints. as you mentioned, happen rising in indonesia. do you think not because people feel more comfortable about coming forward or is it just because the case is actually going on? i think both and it's in i'm like on one hand. but if this increasing number of incidence, objects of violence, but also on the other hand, there is, there is also the better confidence among the victims and also family the victims. because in the us from one's data it shows that menu fixed and it's not coming forward. when the family actually respond to the idea, but this is also another thing that we international commission against women. keep on the minding the public. that when we have this better relations,

we need to anticipate the increasing number of pieces report that not necessarily the decreasing number of it. so what we need to consider as the shipment of this law is when it is implemented and the federal better handily are utilized as the indicators of the, of the effectiveness of the slope instead of the deck itself on the report the cases. and the thank you so much for your time, and d e n t on the be from the national commission on violence again about women, the group that actually wrote the bill. thank you. still ahead on our in sri lanka, default sonics, dental data, another economic blow after weeks of protest ah,

this morning. i believe at 5 in the morning he was a worker from hebron killed by israeli police almost well mobile can you tell us about this particular incident? so there are 2 narratives of the story, these rating narrative that says he's a palestinian who was smuggled into israel. he doesn't have a work permit and he's been there he attempted or he actually thrive it or stabbed rather a police officer leading to a shooting that ended up killing the palestinian version of the story is that there were workers in a work site and the israeli forces of israeli police came over to check if they had permits or not. and they're eye witnesses say that there at mann didn't pose any threats, but then he was shot and killed by the israeli forces. when we talk about smuggling, it's not something uncommon. tens of thousands of palestinians crossed into his

room for work. but as it's happens in these situations, it's hard to be able to verify the story and we still don't have the id of the man . all we know is that that he is in his forties from hebron who had waiting to get more details. thank you for that, nita, in for him that for us outside the refugee camp in jeanine shoreline, cuz defaulting on $51000000000.00 of external debt, as it waits for a bailout from the international monetary fund, finance ministry says it's a last resort as an economic crisis this whose weeks of protest deepens, official say the move will preserve foreign reserves for food and fuel imports. and the crisis is affecting health services to dope to say that critically short of life saving drugs and medical supplies. michelle fernandez reports from colombo, so long as national health service is the only option for those who can't afford
