Abstract

The Task Force for the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence (PPKS) at the University is the implementation of Minister of Education and Culture Regulation No. 30/2021. The PPKS Task Force has identified a significant increase in reports of sexual violence cases that have occurred in the campus environment over the past two years, particularly in the online realm through telegram media. The objective of this narrative inquiry research is to use the story of participant’s experience to understand the patterns of the emergence of sexual harassment in victim’s experiences. The research respondents were two individuals who were victims and reporters of sexual violence in the PPKS Task Force in 2024. This research was conducted in April 2024. The results indicated that Telegram could become as application media which is used by the perpetrator to approach the victim. Telegram provides the option of self-destruct features, chatbots, and the ability to hide phone numbers, which are not available in other chat media applications such as WhatsApp. These features are used by the perpetrator to approach the victim, adversely affecting the victim’s ability to ascertain the perpetrator’s identity when experiencing sexual violence. The circulation of sexually explicit images to those of a more explicit nature is used to intimidate victims. The psychological impact of such actions is inevitable. It is evident that there is a necessity for the implementation of comprehensive sexual violence prevention education and a greater focus on the perils of cyber-sexual harassment, particularly in relation to the utilization of Telegram features.
