5.6.8 Policies protecting those reporting discrimination
Protection Policy for Individuals Reporting Discrimination
One of the main challenges in promoting a fair and inclusive learning and working culture is the fear experienced by victims or witnesses of discrimination when they consider reporting the cases they encounter. Concerns about intimidation, retaliation, and stigma often prevent reports from being submitted. Recognizing this issue, Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) affirms its commitment to protecting those who report discrimination as part of its efforts to create a safe, transparent, and inclusive environment in line with SDG 5 (Gender Equality).
This commitment is reflected in Rector’s Regulation No. 48 of 2023 on the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence (PPKS), which ensures protection for reporters, including the confidentiality of their identity and safety throughout the process. The policy guarantees that every member of the academic community can report incidents of sexual violence or discrimination without fear of intimidation or any educational or employment disadvantage.
This institutional policy is also consistent with national regulations, such as Law No. 13 of 2006 on the Protection of Witnesses and Victims, Law No. 25 of 2009 on Public Services, and Law No. 37 of 2008 on the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia, which safeguard the public’s right to report suspected violations free from discrimination, while maintaining the confidentiality of the reporter’s identity.
In addition, the government provides the national platform Lapor.go.id as an official reporting channel for the public. Through this system, individuals can file complaints related to public services, maladministration, or discrimination, with guaranteed confidentiality and a clear obligation on the part of relevant institutions to follow up on the reports.
For UNS, this national channel reinforces the university’s internal complaint mechanism, which is accessible to all members of the academic community, including lecturers, administrative staff, and students. As a result, reporters can raise their concerns safely without fear of retaliation, enabling the fair and transparent handling of discrimination cases.
For long-term sustainability, UNS plans to strengthen the synergy between its internal reporting mechanism and the national Lapor.go.id platform, enhance service units such as the Gender-Based Violence Response Center (PPKG) and the PPKS Task Force, and conduct regular outreach programs to ensure that all academic members understand their rights and the procedures for reporting discrimination. Through these actions, UNS reaffirms its dedication to justice, human rights protection, and equality for all.
