Abstract

Sexual torture was prevalent in ancient times. It may take place in any form e.g., violence against sexual organs, physical sexual assault and mental sexual assault. There are many examples of sexual torture throughout the world. Indonesia in 1998 riot has witnessed several cases of sexual tortures. There are always some forms of motives in sexual torture. Methods employed in sexual torture are many--with or without using instruments or animals. The revival or moral values in the society, respect for women, sanctity of the family, respect for individual's dignity and awakening at social levels can meet the challenge.
