Caption: Lonjakan kasus kekerasan seksual, khususnya dalam lingkup institusi akademik, memperdalam kekhawatiran yang dirasakan oleh setiap civitas akademika. Guna menanggulangi kasus tersebut dan menciptakan lingkungan yang aman, Permendikbud Ristek Nomor 30 Tahun 2021 tentang Pencegahan dan Penanganan Kekerasan Seksual di Lingkungan Perguruan Tinggi telah dideklarasikan. Peraturan tersebut mendorong dan mendesak universitas-universitas di Indonesia untuk turut memberantas kekerasan seksual yang kerap terjadi di luar kendali.
Sebagaimana tujuan dari Girl Up Unair, kami pun berjalan ke arah yang sama dengan peraturan tersebut, yakni melindungi, mencegah, serta menangani kasus kekerasan seksual.
Cermati pembahasan tentang pencegahan dan penanganan kekerasan seksual di lingkungan perguruan tinggi dan tindakan yang dapat dilakukan oleh Universitas Airlangga terkait peraturan ini di postingan berikut.

In the reply section, numerous people commented about the woman’s skin color. Some of them compared her skin tone to the color of walls, milk, lighting, and others. They even made a contrast between their skin tone and this light-skinned woman and stated that they look like coffee and milk. Their behavior aroused my curiosity about the practice of colorism in our society. Colorism is an unfair treatment towards certain people based on their skin tone, mostly those who have light skin tone are desirable and treated favorably, and it originates due to the history of colorism which happened bygone days.
Few days ago, a mind-blowing tweet stumbled upon my timeline and I was taken aback by how people react to it. The tweet showed a picture of a light-skinned woman with a caption comparing her skin tone to her whitecolored outfit she wears. Then I scrolled down to see its replies and I found unexpected responses from our society.
However, the history left awful impressions and still remains a phenomenon which influence every aspect of life until today, such as job. A study of University of Georgia suggested that light-skinned Black men are the most preferred employee by the recruiters, regardless of their qualifications (Starr, 2011). Moreover, since social media goes hand in hand with our daily life, colorism can easily occur without realizing it, just like the tweet I’m talking about.
How Society Handles Colorism
A perception of beauty has also emerged in which all those statements, comparing light skin tone to things, are intended to give compliments. Society tends to regard those who have light skin tone as a supremacy and take every statement people convey to them as a compliment, whether it is appropriate or not. Nonetheless, this form of compliment is somehow offensive and can’t be considered a compliment regardless of skin tone, but an insult.

How Society Handles Colorism
I've made an assumption about how society responded to a tweet with a picture light-skinned woman attached I mentioned before. This phenomenon indicates their beliefs in beauty in which they assume having light skin tone is considered beautiful. Yes, it indeed is and so are other skin tones without exception. However, based on the tweet, we can discover that light skin tone is still glorified in today’s society and beauty is measured by skin tone. Keep in mind that beauty is diverse and not limited to a particular skin tone.
Light skin tone has become an obsession of a bunch of people and instead of embracing a skin tone they own, they’re searching for ways to attain beauty standards that are socially constructed.
