The Indonesian police continue to use a "degrading" invasive physical test to check for female recruits virginity, a Human Rights Watch (HRW) report has claimed.
A manual examination is used to physically check for an intact hymen in the recruits, the report alleges.
It is, according to the report, a long-standing part of the health check that women must undergo to be accepted onto the force.
While the virginity test is not specifically part of the required "obstetrics and gynecology" examination that female recruits are required to undergo to gain entry to the National Police, senior female officers told the report's authors that it has long been part of the process.
Virginity a requirement
The National Police website lists the health requirements for female recruits, listing virginity as one of the requirements.
"In addition to the other medical and physical examinations. Women who want to become policewomen are to undergo a virginity test. Policewomen must keep their virginity," the informational page states. It ends the section with a cheery "thank you" and a smiley-face emoticon.
Married women are not eligible to apply for service in the police force.
Police: Exams applicable to both sexes
A police spokesperson told CNN that all recruits, not only female, were subject to thorough medical tests that included examination of Instruments.

So,Why do they need to check for Virginity?

Overall, the medical and physical examination has two main objectives. The first one is to make sure that the candidates' health and physical condition will not harm them when admitted into police force," spokesperson Roni Sompie said.
"Secondly, it is to make sure that they do not possess any communicable diseases that will not allow them to perform maximally as trained police personnel," he said.

Harrowing Experience;

one recruit interviewed by HRW for the report said: "Entering the virginity test examination room was really upsetting. I feared that after they performed the test I would not be a virgin anymore. It really hurt. My friend even fainted because... it really hurt, really hurt."
In a series of interviews with HRW, young women - including some who underwent the test as recently as this year - described the procedure as painful and traumatic.
The women told how they were forced to strip naked before female medics gave them a "two-finger test" - a practice described by HRW as archaic and discredited.
"I don't want to remember those bad experiences. It was humiliating," said one 19-year-woman who took the test in the city of Pekanbaru, on western Sumatra island, and whose identity was not disclosed.
"Why should we take off our clothes in front of strangers? It is not necessary. I think it should be stopped."
