This socialization was accompanied and opened directly by Dr. I Nengah Suastika, S.Pd., M.Pd. as Deputy Dean I FHIS Undiksha. He said in his speech that this socialization activity was held as a form of faculty awareness of sexual violence that might occur in the university environment, especially in faculties, and students and lecturers could prevent cases of sexual violence from occurring early.

Socialization material for the Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence was delivered by a resource person, Made Riko Wibawa, as the Daily Chair of the Integrated Service Center for the Protection of Women and Children (P2TP2A) Buleleng. The material presented by Made Riko Wibawa was very educational for the socialization participants. In delivering the material, today sexual violence has entered the realm of higher education institutions. Through Minister of Education and Culture Regulation Number 31 of 2021 concerning Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence, it has become a legal umbrella for handling sexual violence in higher education. Likewise, at Undiksha, a Sexual Violence Prevention and Handling Task Force has been formed to handle cases of sexual violence that occur within the institution to obtain a win-win solution or amicable resolution for the parties involved in sexual violence.
