Students Who Broke the Silence; Disclosure of Sexual Abuse in an Islamic School in Indonesia

Two former students of an Islamic boarding school in Indonesia say that after they raised allegations of sexual abuse against the influential head of the school, they faced pressure and efforts to force them into silence. They have continued to pursue this case by gathering testimonies, documents, and audio files; a case that experts say is an example of a broader problem in some religious schools in Indonesia where victims often refrain from filing complaints.
