Responding to the many questions presented to Rifka Annisa about cases of sexual assault on campus such as the case of sexual harassment occurring in the crowds of UGM as recently reported, Rifka Annisa expressed this statement:

1. That in all cases of violence against women Rifka Annisa always put forward the interests of the victim and the victim's perspective.
2. When Rifka Annisa is handling sexual assault cases, they always seek the solution through the legal process.
3. The case of EH is not the first and the only one involving the teaching profession or staff in educational environments. At least Rifka Annisa never accompanies that from 2000 to 2015, there were 214 cases of violence against women committed by unscrupulous professional lecturers, teachers, and academic staff. This type of case includes 146 cases of violence against his wife, 22 cases of violence in dating, 6 cases of family violence, as well as 32 cases including the cases of sexual harassment and 8 cases of rape.
4. Based on the experience of Rifka Annisa, cases that occur in the educational environment is often a case of sexual assault and involved more than one victim. However, few would dare to report because the position does not draw power relations between victims and perpetrators, criminal proceedings were long and heavy for the victim and family, social pressures in the name of keeping the good name of the institution, the community's negative stigma for victims of sexual violence. In addition, there is no mechanism for preventing and handling cases of violence against women in the educational environment that ensures security and confidentiality for victims.
5. At least the sexual violence continue to be caused by weak legal process and law enforcement systems were related to evidence. In cases of sexual assault evidentiary element is sometimes difficult to fulfill because of the violent events often occur in the private sphere, there is no lack of witnesses and other evidence. Therefore Rifka Annisa encouraging system changes to laws relating to sexual violence and push for a law that ELIMINATION OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE is legalized.
6.

7. Starting in 2013 Rifka Annisa offer counseling services for perpetrators of sexual violence in cooperation with the Police of Gunung Kidul, in addition to counselling for perpetrators of intimate partner violence. Counselling behaviour changes made to sexual assault cases always puts the process of truth and punishment for perpetrators as well in order to prevent a recurrence of violence.
8. Counselling for men in order to influence, prevent or relieve the perpetrator of the legal process that is being undertaken.
9. During the legal process, counselling for offenders aimed at encouraging the perpetrators responsible for the act of doing.
10. Rifka Annisa push strategies for handling cases of violence against women on campus include a complaints mechanism, the handling of cases including legal assistance and psychological counselling for victims of violence.
