Online media play a significant role in shaping public perception through framing processes, particularly on sensitive social issues such as protests. This study aims to analyze and compare how two Indonesian online news platforms, Kompas.com and Indozone.id, framed the student protest at Dongduk Women’s University in South Korea. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using Robert N. Entman’s framing model, which includes four elements: defining problems, diagnosing causes, making moral judgments, and suggesting remedies. The data were derived from two news articles published in November 2024. The findings reveal that Kompas.com applied a more critical and comprehensive framing approach, emphasizing social context, historical cases of sexual harassment, and the importance of safe spaces for women. In contrast, Indozone.id focused on the virality aspect, providing minimal analysis and omitting moral and solution-oriented framing. These differences reflect the editorial orientation of each platform and highlight the need for media literacy in an era dominated by algorithm-driven journalism. The study underscores how media framing influences public understanding of gender justice and women's education issues.

The phenomenon of catcalling is a form of verbal sexual harassment that is often trivialized by society, even though this practice reflects the existence of symbolic power that places women in a subordinate position in public spaces. Catcalling demonstrates the enduring dominance of patriarchal culture, which is embedded through language and actions that appear ordinary yet subtly demean women's dignity. This study aims to describe the forms and characteristics of catcalling, examine catcalling as a manifestation of symbolic violence, and identify the social and psychological impacts experienced by victims. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through direct observation and in-depth interviews with young women at Taman Literasi Blok M. Based on Pierre Bourdieu's theory of symbolic violence, this study concludes that catcalling not only has an emotional impact but also reinforces gender inequality that is internalized in social norms. This practice occurs through a symbolic process that is inherited and normalized in everyday interactions.

This study uses a qualitative method to examine legal protection for female workers who experience discrimination in employment relationships. Discrimination against women in the workplace remains prevalent, taking forms such as unequal pay, limited opportunities for promotion, and sexual harassment, all of which affect their safety and comfort at work. Legal protection for female workers is regulated by various laws, including the Manpower Act, the Human Rights Act, and ILO conventions ratified by Indonesia. However, the implementation of these protections is often ineffective due to weak law enforcement, limited awareness among female workers regarding their rights, and the persistence of patriarchal culture. This study aims to analyze the extent to which legal regulations and their implementation function effectively, as well as the obstacles female workers face in claiming their rights. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, literature review, and document analysis. The findings indicate the need to strengthen labor inspection institutions and provide legal education for female workers to achieve justice in employment relationships.  

Catcalling or verbal sexual harassment is a social phenomenon that is rampant in Indonesia. It involves unwanted sexualized remarks that dehumanize the victim and can have a psychological impact. Although Law Number 12 of 2022 on Criminal Acts of Sexual Violence (UU TPKS) has regulated non-physical sexual harassment in Article 5, its application in the field still faces various obstacles. This study aims to determine the legal formulation of the application of sanctions against perpetrators of verbal sexual harassment (catcalling). This research uses an empirical normative approach. The results show that the legal formulation of the application of sanctions against perpetrators of verbal sexual harassment has progressed with explicit regulation in Article 5 of Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Criminal Acts of Sexual Violence (TPKS Law). To realize substantive and effective justice, it is necessary to improve the formulation of sanctions, integrate non-criminal sanctions, increase the capacity of law enforcers, and strengthen public education.

This study aims to examine how university students perceive freedom of expression in Indonesia within the context of democracy and the digital age. A descriptive quantitative method was employed by distributing questionnaires to students from various universities. The findings reveal that most students view freedom of expression as a fundamental right in a democratic society. However, concerns were raised regarding potential restrictions through ambiguous regulations and the threat of legal sanctions. Social media platforms serve as the primary medium for expressing opinions, although risks such as digital harassment and criminalization persist. In conclusion, while students generally have a positive view of freedom of expression, they remain cautious about its possible repercussions. These findings suggest the need for stronger legal protections and improved digital literacy to ensure that freedom of expression remains safeguarded in a democratic system.

Sexual harassment cases in university environments have become a serious issue that not only harms victims physically and psychologically but also undermines academic and humanitarian values. This article aims to analyze the implementation of legal aid services in addressing criminal acts of sexual harassment within higher education institutions, particularly in terms of victim protection, legal assistance, and the restoration of victims’ rights. This study employs an empirical or socio-legal approach by examining existing legal regulations and the practical implementation of legal services by campus-based legal aid institutions. The findings reveal that although several universities have established task forces or sexual violence service units, their implementation still faces challenges such as limited resources, low legal awareness, and a prevailing culture of silence among students. Therefore, institutional strengthening, continuous awareness campaigns, and victim-centered campus policies are necessary to ensure comprehensive access to justice. Legal aid services must not only be reactive but also preventive and educational, as part of a broader effort to create a safe and violence-free academic environment.  

The Baiq Nuril case is a clear reflection of the political problems of criminal law in Indonesia, especially in the context of protecting victims of sexual violence and the application of the Electronic Information and Transaction Law (ITE Law). Baiq Nuril, a victim of verbal harassment by her superior, was criminalized through Article 27 paragraph (1) of the ITE Law after she recorded an obscene conversation as a form of self-protection. This research uses a normative juridical approach by analyzing relevant legal instruments and their application in the Baiq Nuril case. The results show that the use of the article contains structural bias and shows an imbalance of perspectives in the criminal justice system, which tends to ignore the position of victims as well as the social context and power relations that surround them. In addition, the article's multiple interpretations open space for criminalization of victims, especially women, instead of providing protection. This case emphasizes the importance of criminal law reform oriented towards substantive justice and in favor of victims, as well as the need to revise the ITE Law so that it does not become a tool of repression against vulnerable groups. The amnesty granted by the President to Baiq Nuril is a political corrective step, but has not touched the root of systemic problems in law enforcement that have not been in favor of victims of gender-based violence.

Along with the development of the era, the virtual world or the internet is also growing rapidly. In its development, there must be positive and negative things. The term cyberbullying is the use of technology to intimidate, intimidate, or victimize a person or group and this is one of the negative things from the development of the virtual world or the internet. This study uses a normative legal research method, which examines related issues from a human rights perspective and uses laws and regulations and doctrines as study materials for cases that will be classified as cybercrime/stalking or commonly referred to as cyber harassment. Cyberbullying has various forms and approaches. When viewed from a human rights perspective, cyberbullying is strictly prohibited from being carried out on fellow cyberspace users, which in human rights is regulated in Article 30 of Law No. 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights which reads: "everyone has the right to a sense of comfort and peace and protection against the threat of fear to do or not do something". In this article it is clearly stated that everyone has the right to obtain a sense of comfort in their lives and peaceful conditions and protection from the threat of fear, which refers to cyberbullying which can share the threat of fear against one person and another.

Personal data dissemination is a new type of crime that has emerged in the digital world. The rapid development of technology has led to various innovations in data storage, one of which is through barcode technology. Although it provides convenience, this technology also opens up new gaps in cybercrime, especially the misuse and dissemination of personal data stored in barcodes. The impacts of the spread of personal data include damage to personal reputation due to the widespread dissemination of personal data on the internet, the emergence of cyber bullying and sexual harassment, personal data that has the potential to be sold, and the distress and psychological trauma experienced by victims of personal data dissemination. The purpose of this study is to analyze how law enforcement against perpetrators of abuse of the spread of personal data stored in barcodes is reviewed from the ITE Law and the PDP Law, and identify preventive efforts that can be made to prevent these crimes. This research uses a normative juridical approach method used to examine applicable legal norms related to personal data protection. With a statute approach, books, scientific journals, and the internet. The results showed that, although the ITE Law does not specifically regulate barcode technology, the protection of personal data stored in barcodes is still subject to the provisions of the ITE Law and Law Number 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection.

Sexual harassment against children in Islamic boarding schools is a serious issue that demands special attention, particularly in the context of legal protection for victims. This study aims to analyze the position and role of child victims in the dynamics of sexual harassment crimes within pesantren, as well as to identify forms of legal protection that can be provided through a victimological approach. One of the cases highlighted in this research occurred at Bani Ma’mun Islamic Boarding School, located in Gembor Udik Village, Cikande Sub-district, Serang Regency, which illustrates the weak protection afforded to children in religious educational environments. By employing an empirical juridical method and referring to secondary data such as legislation, legal documents, and academic literature, this study finds that child victims often do not receive optimal protection, either in the criminal justice process or in terms of psychosocial support. The victimological perspective emphasizes the importance of fulfilling victims' rights, including the right to security, physical and mental rehabilitation, and social reintegration. In this context, protection efforts should not only focus on imposing sanctions on perpetrators but also include the formulation of policies oriented toward the recovery of victims. Therefore, this study recommends strengthening institutional capacity within pesantren to develop and implement comprehensive child protection mechanisms, including regulatory reform and more responsive law enforcement toward victims of sexual crimes. This research is expected to contribute to the development of a legal framework that is more victim-oriented within Indonesia’s criminal justice system.

The development of information and communication technology has changed the pattern of human interaction, which was initially done face-to-face, to digital. The positive impact of internet usage is to facilitate connection and access to information, but it can also result in negative impacts such as cybercrime. The purpose of this research is to determine the crime of cyberstalking reviewed from Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions (ITE). This research is normative legal research that is prescriptive and uses a statutory approach, case approach, and conceptual approach. The collection of legal materials uses literature study techniques or document studies using syllogistic analysis techniques and using deductive thinking patterns. From the research, it was found that cyberstalking can be in the form of stalking followed by sexual harassment, privacy interference and continuous threats. In addition, cyberstalking is regulated in Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning Information and Electronic Transactions. However, this law has not been clearly or specifically regulated regarding stalking in the digital realm. Therefore, we need strict regulations regarding cyberstalking crimes.

The phenomenon of the Facebook group "Fantasi Sedarah" which was revealed in May 2025 has shaken Indonesian society and sparked deep concern, this case involving thousands of members revealed a network of sexual predators and pedophiles who use digital space as a place to share explicit content about incest and sexual violence against children. This study aims to analyze the responsiveness of public service officials in handling the case. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a case study method to analyze the complexity of the problem. The results of the study show that the response of various public service agencies such as the Police, Komdigi, KPAI, and the Ministry of PPPA demonstrate the state's commitment to implementing the welfare state principle in the context of digital security. However, handling is still hampered by various structural and operational obstacles. Limited human resources who have expertise in the field of cybercrime, technical capacity that is not yet optimal in dealing with rapid technological developments, and the complexity of digital regulations that still require harmonization between regulations are the main challenges in law enforcement. The research findings emphasize the urgency of strengthening structural coordination between institutions through the establishment of more solid cooperation protocols, increasing community digital literacy, and developing innovative surveillance technology that can proactively identify and counter dangerous content. Strategic recommendations include implementing periodic evaluations of the digital legal system to ensure responsiveness to technological developments, empowerment, and strengthening institutional capacity in dealing with cybercrime.

The high rate of sexual violence has become a primary concern for the government. Victims of such violence do not distinguish between age or gender; children, both boys and girls, are often among the victims. Sexual education remains a taboo subject in society, as many consider it inappropriate to teach children and lack transparency on the matter. Parents are often reluctant and embarrassed to discuss sexual education with their children.Sex education is an effort to provide knowledge about the function of reproductive organs by instilling moranal, ethical, and religious commitments so that there is no “misuse” of these reproductive organs. Sex education aims to provide comprehensive knowledge and understanding of sexuality including, the function of reproductive organs, reproductive health, prevention of risky behavior, prevention of sexually transmitted diseases, prevention of sexual harassment, and increased understanding of gender identity and sexual orientation. The annual record of the National Commission on Violence Against Women in 2024 noted that sexual violence against women occupied the highest level with a percentage of 26.94%. The high level of sexual violence that occurs is a major concern of the government, victims of violence do not mark age and gender, children are also often victims of both boys and girls. This article uses qualitative methods and literature study methods.

Sexual education for children, especially girls, is an important aspect in efforts to protect themselves from social risks such as harassment, violence, and exploitation. This article aims to examine the urgency of integrating sexual education into the basic education system as a strategic preventive measure. The method used is library research by reviewing various scientific literature, reference books, and education policy documents. The results of the study show that many parents still have a wrong understanding of sexual education, so discussions about the body, privacy, and social boundaries are often avoided. In fact, sexual education that is delivered appropriately according to the stages of child development can increase self-awareness, build self-confidence, and strengthen children's communication skills in dealing with risky social situations. Schools have a strategic role as a safe and conducive educational environment in introducing the concept of sexuality in a healthy and responsible manner. Therefore, sexual education should be an integral part of the national curriculum in order to support optimal child growth and development and protect them from various forms of violence.

The rapid development of information technology has brought various conveniences to human life, but it also brings new challenges in the form of cybercrime threats. One of these threats is cyberstalking, which is the act of stalking, harassment, or threats through digital media. Cyberstalking utilizes the anonymity of technology to violate the privacy, dignity, and psychological safety of the victim. In Indonesia, the regulation of cyberstalking is implicitly regulated through Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law) or in its latest amendment, namely in Law Number 1 of 2024 concerning the Second Amendment to Law Number 1 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions and the Criminal Code (KUHP). However, these regulations have not been able to cover the multidimensional dimensions of the crime, such as non-verbal harassment or emotional threats through digital media. This article analyzes cyberstalking in the perspective of Indonesian criminal law by highlighting the existing legal vacuum and the importance of regulatory reform based on the principles of legality, legal certainty, and protection of individual rights. Recommendations include revising the ITE Law, strengthening the capacity of law enforcers, and increasing public awareness to deal holistically with the threat of cyberstalking. With these steps, it is hoped that legal protection for victims can be improved in line with technological developments.

Sexual harassment and violence against children in the school environment are increasingly concerning issues that require serious handling and prevention strategies. Strategically, sex education can be provided early to teach children about their bodies, their boundaries, and how to find and report inappropriate actions. The purpose of this study was to investigate how sex education functions as a way to prevent violence and sexual harassment in schools. The method used was to conduct literature research on a number of relevant scientific articles that focused Sex education, prevention of sexual violence, sexual harassment, child protection.on the implementation, techniques, and roles of educators and parents. The results showed that age-appropriate sex education provided through visual media, songs, interactive books, and digital applications effectively increased children's understanding of self-protection. The active involvement of parents and teachers also played an important role in the success of this program. This study suggests that sex education should be included in the elementary school curriculum.

The Campus Teaching Program is a concrete implementation of the Freedom to Learn policy, which positions students as agents of educational transformation in elementary schools, particularly in disadvantaged, frontier, and outermost (3T) areas. One fundamental problem faced by elementary schools in these areas is students' poor understanding of legal norms and school regulations. This condition contributes to high rates of disciplinary violations and rampant bullying behavior, such as verbal harassment, exclusion, and peer coercion. This study aims to analyze the contribution of the Campus Teaching Program in fostering legal awareness in elementary school students through a character education approach. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study method and was conducted at Budisari Public Elementary School, Cililin District, West Bandung Regency. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with teachers, students, and student participants; participant observation during the learning process; and documentation of activities. Data validity was ensured through methodological triangulation and member checking techniques. The results indicate that the involvement of student teachers in the Campus Teaching Program facilitated the internalization of legal values through learning that integrates character education into both subjects and extracurricular activities. Students successfully developed various educational strategies, such as simulations of school regulations, role-plays about the consequences of violations, and group discussions on the values of honesty, responsibility, and mutual respect. The implementation of these activities resulted in increased student legal awareness, as evidenced by greater compliance with school regulations, fewer disciplinary violations, and a significant decrease in bullying incidents.

Catcalling, also known as street harassment, is a form of sexual harassment that occurs in public places. This form of harassment usually takes the form of unwanted, sexual, provocative or degrading comments or statements, and is often directed at other people, especially women. Many believe that catcalling is something common and normal, some even consider it a compliment or joke that usually occurs in public places. This research adopts a qualitative approach, collecting main data from hadiths contained in digital collections such as Maktabah Syamilah, Hadith Soft, and Hadith Encyclopedia Buku 9 Imams. Secondary data sources include literature related to catcalling cases. Data was collected through library research. This research uses thematic methods to analyze contemporary hadiths and applies grounded theory methods. This research reveals that catcalling has two types, namely verbal and non-verbal. The perpetrator often says words with the aim of teasing. And there are several precautions that we must take to prevent catcalling. These include guarding your words and actions, having the principles of ukhuwwah Islamiyyah, being silent, and not sitting on the side of the road.

The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to the emergence of new crimes, including the misuse of deepfake technology to produce and distribute pornographic content without the victim's consent. This form of digital sexual harassment has serious impacts on victims' dignity, mental health, and social life. This study aims to examine the efforts of Police in addressing sexual harassment crimes using deepfake porn and to identify the obstacles faced. Using normative and empirical legal approaches, data were collected through literature review and interviews. The findings reveal that the police efforts involve both penal (law enforcement) and non-penal (preventive) approaches, including public education, cross-institutional collaboration, and cyber patrols. However, the handling of such crimes is still hindered by regulatory gaps, limited technology, and low public awareness. Strengthening legal frameworks and police capacity is essential to effectively combat digital-based sexual crimes.
