be a virgin? I know it's none of your business but it's interesting to
read.
According to Human Rights Watch, the organization fighting to get the
practice abolished - female police recruits who make only 3% of the
country's police force, are being forced to take 'virginity test'
before they begin training.
The Indonesia police recruitment website says, 'All women who want to
become policewomen should keep their virginity."
The female police officers who have undergone this test, which
examines them to make sure their hymens are still intact, say its
'painful, traumatic and really upsetting' and are asking that it be
stopped.
"I feared that after they performed the test I would not be a virgin
any more. It really hurt. My friend even fainted because ... it really
hurt, really hurt.' a recruit told HRW
Human Rights Watch say they are working with the government to get rid
of the practice as its 'discriminatory and a form of gender-based
violence'.
