A national kickboxing athlete with the initials VAAP has revealed the alleged sexual violence she experienced in an effort to prevent similar incidents from recurring and to encourage increased protection for athletes, especially women.
The athlete said the decision to speak out wasn't easy, as he was initially overcome with shame and fear. He even took the internal route by reporting the case to the Indonesian Kickboxing Central Board.
"I have filed a written complaint with the PP KBI, and I also continued to follow up via WhatsApp and phone until a code of ethics team was finally formed," VAAP said in a written statement
