Sexual Violence Against Women on the Rise in Timor-Leste
A teenage girl from Dili District died shortly after being transferred to a nearby hospital early morning of 4 September 2013. Initial reports indicate that she had been sexually assaulted before being beaten to death. She had allegedly left her house late last night to meet her boyfriend after receiving a text message from him asking to meet.
Thisincident is the most recent in a string of cases marked by violence against women in Timor-Leste. During this summer alone, Fundasaun Mahein has reported on two other high-profile cases highlighting the growing trend of sexual violence targeting women. In one case a young couple were captured at Tasi-Tolu and forced to perform sexual acts on camera. In another, a young woman taking a taxi was taken hostage and gang raped near the U.S. Embassy. In each case, Timorese women are falling victim to assault at the hands of Timorese men.
Fundasaun Mahein would like to ask why law enforcement officials are treating each of these cases as completely separate events? Far from being separate, these crimes represent a growing pattern of sexual violence against women sprouting from the influences of organized crimes networks within Timor-Leste. In each of these three cases and others like them, women are murdered, sexually assaulted, and targeted for robbery. As a result, it is imperative that law enforcement officials not view these crimes as normal, but as a conscious and increasing pattern of organized criminal activity.
Fundasaun Mahein is also concerned by the government’s silence in response to these terrible events. Despite the government’s numerous institutions and ministries, there is currently no formal institution in place to address and notify the public about events like these. These crimes pose severe threats to public safety and women’s safety in particular, and much more outreach is needed to increase public awareness of these dangers.Fundasaun Mahein recommends that the government create a public relations department within the Ministry of State Security to address the public at times of increased threats to public safety.
In response to this disturbing increase in violence, Fundasaun Mahein urges Timorese women to exercise caution when leaving their homes. Fundasaun Mahein recommends that women never going out at night completely alone, regardless of where they are going or who they plan to meet.
Finally, Fundasaun Mahein urges the public to work with law-enforcement to curb this growing violence. Please call the PNTL at this number if you see any sign of unusual activity: phone number 122 or 73000122

I feel that the proper regulation of the taxi services in Dili is one thing that could be done to reduce the vulnerability of women to this kind of attack. The taxis have become increasingly dangerous over the past year as unlicensed drivers and criminal elements have started to muscle in. It’s all well and good to tell women to restrict their movements, but they have a right to safe public transport. Otherwise the women are losing their liberty because of these criminals. Instead of putting the emphasis on what women “should” do, it’s important to state clearly what men “shouldn’t do”. Don’t rape. Don’t rob. Don’t attack.
