The Army of Indonesia intends to cancel the so-called “virginity test” for female recruits. This was announced in the human rights organization Human Right Watch.
Now the examination of women will be the same as the examination of their male colleagues. As the Andika Perkasa, Medical Checks on issues that are not related to the service will not be held more.
It is noted that the Indonesian armed forces of decades used this test to verify the girls recruits. In some cases, it was applied to the brides of the soldiers. When inspecting, doctors inserted two fingers inside the vagina of a woman to check whether the Tsemy is a virgin pole. Back in 2014, representatives of the World Health Organization stated that such inspections do not have a scientific justification and are one of the forms of sexual violence.
Previously it became known that the Women’s Women in the Army of Switzerland will be allowed to wear lingerie instead of male.
