End virginity tests for female recruits: HRW to Indonesia
Human Rights Watch (HRW) has urged Indonesian President Joko Widodo to order the country's police chief and armed forces commander to immediately ban the 'two-finger' virginity test. Adding that women described the test as painful, embarrassing, and traumatic, HRW said it is scientifically baseless. HRW added that the practice is considered a violation of human rights under international laws.
