Abortion is illegal in Indonesia , home to the world's largest Muslim population, except in the event of a medical emergency or rape.

New regulations stipulate that to be recognised as a rape victim, women must obtain a document only the police can issue.

Women's rights activists say the regulatory change may deter rape victims from turning to the authorities for help.
