5.6.8 Policies protecting those reporting discrimination
UNS Protects Those Who Report Discrimination from Educational and Employment Disadvantage
Fear of retaliation is one of the main reasons people do not report discrimination. Through Rector’s Regulation No. 7 of 2025 on the Prevention and Handling of Violence, in force since 21 April 2025, Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) guarantees specific rights for people who report, so that reporting does not cost them their education or their job. This supports SDG 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
Discrimination Is Covered by the Reporting and Protection System
The regulation defines discrimination and intolerance as a form of violence (Article 7 paragraph (2) letter e), including any distinction, exclusion, restriction, or selection based on sex and other characteristics (Article 13 paragraph (1)). A reporter (Pelapor) is defined as “any person who reports violence they have experienced or know of” (Article 1 number 12). Reports may be made to the Task Force, to UNS, or to the Ministry (Article 43 paragraph (1)), either directly or through channels including letters, telephone, text messages, e-mail, and a QR code on the Task Force’s Instagram page (Article 43 paragraph (2)).

Rights of Reporters and Witnesses
- Protection from educational and employment disadvantage (Article 77 paragraph (1)). Victims and reporters are entitled to protection from threats or violence by the reported party or others (letter b), protection of the confidentiality of their identity and case information (letter d), access to educational services (letter e), protection from losing their job (letter f), and assistance, protection, and recovery services as needed (letter h).
- Witnesses (Article 77 paragraph (2)). Witnesses receive the same core protections, including confidentiality, protection from threats, access to educational services, and protection from losing their job.
- Academic and employment continuity during recovery (Article 76). During recovery, UNS ensures that victims or witnesses who are students do not lose study time or be counted as on leave; that lecturers and staff retain their legal rights; and that students who fall behind academically receive additional academic guidance.
- Confidentiality as a principle (Article 4 paragraph (8)). The principle of prudence requires keeping confidential the identities of the parties directly involved in a report.

Implementation in 2025
UNS launched the regulation on 8 May 2025 and publicly explained its reporting procedure: reports can be submitted through several channels, follow-up begins within three working days, and the Task Force for the Prevention and Handling of Violence (Satgas PPK) reports directly to the Rector.

On 22 September 2025, the Satgas PPK held a socialization and focus group discussion with the heads of administration of all faculties and schools to ensure consistent application of the regulation across UNS, followed by a campus survey and faculty-level monitoring.
Impact
By explicitly naming reporters and guaranteeing their access to education and protection from job loss, Rector’s Regulation No. 7 of 2025 directly addresses the risk that people who report discrimination will face educational or employment disadvantages. This encourages women and other groups at risk of discrimination to report, which is a precondition for a fair and inclusive campus.
