A 2022 study by PR2Media and AJI Indonesia of 852 female journalists from 34 provinces in Indonesia showed that 82.6% (704) of respondents had experienced sexual violence throughout their journalistic careers. The study asked female journalists about their experiences concerning various types of sexual violence, which occurred online and offline, in the office and outside the office, and when carrying out journalistic work (please find the research report here).

This guide was aimed at assisting press companies in developing a standard operating procedure (SOP) for handling sexual violence against female journalists. With that in mind, this guide outlines the main points that need to be included in the guide as well as the principles that press companies need to follow when preparing SOPs. This book was intended to serve as a reference for various press companies in Indonesia, both commercial and non-commercial, including public media organisations such as RRI and TVRI.
