<![CDATA[The patriarchal culture that is rooted in Indonesia, especially in the Javanese, triggers many problems, especially on relations between genders. Gender inequality in patriarchal culture plays a big role in the occurrence of sexual violence in society, including on campus. There are still many cases of sexual violence on campus that are not reported, one of the reasons is because the victims remain silent.
