Indonesian police force female recruits to undergo 'virginity tests'

Did y'all know that to be a police officer in Indonesia, you have to be a virgin? I know it's none of ya 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’.

    7. That's a very dirty comment coming from someone who calls himself a bishop! How is something truamatic, painful and a form of sexual violence against women and women alone 'cool and interesting'? Why don't you allow people in authority to stick a thin rod into your thing to check if you've ever contracted an std before? See if you'll find the idea and procedure "cool and interesting"

  45. If you had statistics from other countries within the military and paramilitary concerning rape cases on military women by their colleagues, you may understand what this govt are trying to do.
    To rape a virgin, you may need to be extra brutal and there is no hiding the rape nor its immediate effects on the lady.
    You may be a virgin before being recruited but I do not see it stated anywhere that you must stay a virgin.

  46. Watch out! comments from ladies. You can easily detect those who are virgin & those who are not.

    MY VIEW:
    I dnt like and support virginity test. Even,along the process they can be disvirgin. what if the hymen is broken?

    Every Human is empower with capability & ability to do anything on the earth. Why then must I be measure by what is under me.
