Public awareness of sexual violence rose in May following the gang rape and murder of Yuyun, a year-old schoolgirl, by 14 men and boys, including her ex-boyfriend, in Bengkulu regency, Sumatra. Her body was discovered naked and tied up at a rubber plantation two days later. The case initially went unnoticed, until feminist activists began a social media campaign demanding justice. The latest victim to make local headlines, identified only as S, boarded a public minivan driven by two of the alleged perpetrators at 1 a. But instead of taking S to her destination, they drove to a rented house, where four of their friends were waiting.
