WARNING: THIS EPISODE DISCUSSES RAPE; PLEASE LISTEN AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION.
In this episode, we take a closer look at Jokowi’s recent amendment to existing child protection laws, which will include chemical castration for child rapists. We talk about what chemical castration is and how effective the treatment is compared to other forms of punishment in terms of reducing recidivism. We analyze the limitations of this approach and how it does not fundamentally solve the issue of rape. In doing so, we open up a discussion on consent and how we could and should hold everyone in society accountable for the existence and prevalence of rape culture. We also talked about different types of rape prevention tactics.
