A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE REGION OF YOGYAKARTA, INDONESIA
Abstract
This narrative study explored the underlying antecedents of Sexual Harassment
(SH) and an approach to coping with the issues, from the perspective of Rifka
Annisa Women's Crisis Centre (RAWCC). Three counselors were interviewed in
semi-structured questions. The results reveal that unequal power relations and
gender stereotyping are the antecedents of SH. One of the approaches to coping
with the issues is to hold prevention program, starting from changing the mindset
of gender stereotyping until law enforcement throughout the workplace and
nation, which currently already maintained in a regular program by RAWCC.
However, SH-free work environment cannot be predicted especially in
Yogyakarta, since the case is like a tip of an iceberg.
