5.6.1 Policy of non-discrimination against women
UNS Policy of Non-Discrimination Against Women to Promote a Safe and Inclusive Campus
Gender-based discrimination and violence remain major challenges in higher education. Women often face barriers in accessing education and participating in academic environments due to stereotypes, unequal treatment, and sexual violence. To address these issues and demonstrate its commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and fair campus, Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) has implemented a policy of non-discrimination against women.
This commitment is realized through the strengthening of The Center for Population and Gender Research (PPKG) as a service and advocacy unit, as well as the implementation of Rector’s Regulation Number 48 of 2023 on the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence (PPKS), which serves as the official guideline for reporting and protection for all members of the academic community, especially women.
PPKG UNS functions as an integrated service center focusing on gender equality and women’s protection. It not only provides a space for complaints and assistance for victims of gender-based violence but also actively promotes education and awareness to prevent discrimination on campus. Additionally, PPKG conducts research and academic studies to enhance knowledge on gender issues and offers policy recommendations to university leadership. This initiative aligns with Ministerial Regulation of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Number 55 of 2024, which emphasizes the principle of non-discrimination (Article 4) and requires universities to establish mechanisms for preventing and handling violence (Article 28). Through collaborations with government institutions and civil society organizations, PPKG expands its advocacy network, making its role not only service-oriented but also a driving force in building a safe, fair, and inclusive campus culture.
This policy has resulted in a clear reporting and protection mechanism that enables both students and staff to seek justice. The positive impacts include a greater sense of safety, increased participation of women in academic activities, and the strengthening of a campus culture free from discrimination.
Moving forward, UNS plans to sustain and expand this initiative through regular gender equality awareness programs, violence prevention training for all university members, and continuous capacity development for PPKG and PPKS units to ensure they remain responsive and effective. Through these efforts, UNS positions itself as a university that consistently upholds gender justice principles, in line with Sustainable Development Goal 5.
