Indonesian judges can now force men who commit sexual offenses against children to be chemically castrated, after President Joko Widodo issued an emergency decree in response to what he called a “crisis” of sexual violence against children in the country.
The move comes after a teenage girl was gang-raped and murdered by a group of 14 men and boys while walking home from school in Bengkulu province, in Sumatra, in early May. The attack outraged women’s-rights activists and led to calls for the government to show urgency in responding to sexual violence.
I mean... it's a HORRIFIC nasty punishment, but it doesn't address the core social issue of what drives people to think this is in anyway vaguely acceptable.
Their education and social sector is clearly the PITS.
