Sexual violence against children and women in Indonesia remains a critical issue with lasting physical, psychological, and social consequences for victims. This study aims to analyze existing legal protection efforts for child and female victims of sexual violence, identify regulatory and implementation weaknesses, and formulate policy recommendations. Employing a normative legal research design with a doctrinal‑descriptive approach, it reviews legislation, scholarly literature, and court decisions. The findings reveal that despite legal frameworks such as Law No. 35/2014 on Child Protection and relevant Criminal Code provisions, significant gaps persist in offense categorization, victims’ access to legal aid services, and inter‑agency coordination. The implications highlight the need for regulatory refinement, strengthened reporting mechanisms, and enhanced capacity of law enforcement and legal aid institutions to ensure comprehensive victim protection.  

This research discusses the increasing child violence in Bintan Regency every year. The purpose of this research is to analyze the implementation of collaborative governance in addressing violence against children. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The theory used is the collaborative governance theory by Ansell & Gash, which consists of five indicators: face to face, trust building, commitment to process, shared understanding, and intermediate outcomes. The conclusion of this research shows that collaborative governance in addressing child violence in Bintan Regency has been implemented, with collaboration between the government, child protection agencies, and the community. The indicators of face to face, trust building, and shared understanding have been quite good through communication and coordination among the actors. However, the indicators of commitment to process and intermediate outcomes still face challenges such as changes in positions, sectoral egos, and time constraints. Although services for victims have started to improve, the rate of child violence remains high and many cases are resolved peacefully. An increase in commitment and coordination is needed to strengthen protection efforts and elevate the status of Child-Friendly Districts.

KDRT atau domestic violence merupakan kekerasan berbasis gender yang terjadi di ranah personal. Kekerasan ini banyak terjadi dalam hubungan relasi personal, dimana pelaku adalah orang yang dikenal baik dan dekat oleh korban, misalnya tindak kekerasan yang dilakukan suami terhadap istri, ayah terhadap anak, paman terhadap keponakan, kakek terhadap cucu. Dampak bagi korban adalah mengalami sakit fisik, tekanan mental, menurunnya rasa percaya diri dan harga diri, merasa tidak berdaya, merasa ketergantungan pada suami meski telah disiksa, stres pascatrauma, depresi, bahkan keinginan untuk bunuh diri.  Pengabdian Masyarakat ini berupa edukasi kepada warga terutama kader Kesehatan tentang KDRT dan dampaknya serta upaya pencegahan dan deteksi dini KDRT di lingkungan keluarga. Kader juga harus mengsosialisasikan upaya pemerintah dalam mengatasi kasus KDRT. Kegiatan edukasi ini membantu meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kesadaran bagi warga, dan keluarga dalam penangganan terhadap kasus KDRT serta dampaknya.

Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga (KDRT) masih menjadi permasalahan sosial yang signifikan di Indonesia, tak terkecuali di Kelurahan Sawah Besar. Minimnya pemahaman masyarakat tentang bentuk-bentuk KDRT serta jalur pelaporan dan perlindungan korban menjadi faktor pendorong tingginya angka kasus yang tidak terungkap. Program pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran dan literasi warga Kelurahan Sawah Besar terkait pencegahan, pengenalan, dan penanganan kasus KDRT melalui pendekatan edukasi partisipatif. Metode yang digunakan meliputi serangkaian lokakarya interaktif, penyuluhan berbasis komunitas, dan pembentukan kelompok dukungan dengan melibatkan tokoh masyarakat setempat serta ahli dari bidang hukum. Program ini berhasil meningkatkan pemahaman masyarakat tentang KDRT, membentuk jaringan relawan pendamping korban yang terdiri dari 25 kader terlatih dan mengembangkan sistem pelaporan kasus berbasis komunitas yang terintegrasi dengan dinas sosial setempat. Simpulan dari program ini menunjukkan bahwa edukasi berbasis partisipatif efektif dalam membangun kesadaran kolektif dan menciptakan sistem dukungan bagi korban KDRT. Model edukasi yang dikembangkan diharapkan dapat direplikasi di kelurahan lain sebagai upaya strategis pencegahan dan penanganan KDRT berbasis komunitas

In this article, sexual violence in Islamic boarding schools is discussed in relation to human rights violations. Many incidents show the practice of sexual violence involving officials, even though Islamic boarding schools are considered educational institutions that instill moral and religious values. The purpose of this study is to determine the types of human rights violations, the factors that cause sexual violence, and the function of Islamic boarding schools in preventing and implementing efforts to protect victims. This study uses a qualitative method using case studies and literature analysis. The results of the study indicate that verbal, physical, and psychological violence are forms of sexual violence in Islamic boarding schools. These incidents are influenced by patriarchal cultural norms, unequal power dynamics, and lack of supervision from outside parties. Victims suffer greatly from the impact, both intellectually and mentally. Therefore, to provide a safe and free learning environment from sexual violence, a comprehensive strategy is needed that involves the rule of law, increasing awareness of human rights, and providing psychosocial support to victims.

Violence among university students is a serious issue that often neglects the position of victims as subjects who deserve legal and social protection. The case of mob violence against a law faculty student at Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University (Untirta) in SMKN 2 Serang City in June 2024 reveals the complexities of victims’ access to justice, marked by slow legal processes and insufficient institutional support. This study employs a qualitative approach with a normative empirical juridical legal research design and a case study method, combining an examination of legislation with field data to explore the social, legal, and psychological conditions of the victims through semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and literature review. Data analysis is conducted descriptively-analytically using thematic coding and source triangulation to ensure the validity of findings. The study uncovers three main findings: (1) secondary victimization experienced by victims due to legal process stagnation and lack of accompaniment, (2) institutional responses prioritizing campus reputation over victim recovery, and (3) a culture of violence normalizing violent acts as internal campus conflicts. This research offers victimology-based recommendations, including the establishment of victim service units on campus, sensitivity training for law enforcement officers, and revisions to victim-centered campus policies. The findings underscore the importance of a victimological approach in supporting restorative justice for student violence victims.

Sexual violence is a critical issue in Indonesia, especially within the context of higher education. Various studies and statistical data indicate a growing number of cases, including incidents in university settings that often go unreported due to social stigma and lack of support systems. This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Sexual Violence Prevention and Handling Task Force (SATGAS PPKS) at Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University in providing protection for victims. The method used is empirical juridical, combining primary data through interviews with SATGAS PPKS members and secondary data in the form of laws, academic literature, and official reports. The research adopts a qualitative descriptive analysis technique to assess how far the SATGAS PPKS applies principles of victimology and routine activity theory to support victims and reduce the opportunity for sexual violence in campus environments.

Mixed marriages between Indonesian citizens (WNI) and foreign nationals (WNA) often give rise to legal issues, particularly in divorce cases involving the division of marital property. A key challenge arises from the restriction on land ownership for foreign nationals under the Basic Agrarian Law. This study examines Decision Number 146/Pdt.G/2021/PA.Dps, in which an Indonesian wife was accused of extortion against her foreign husband in the context of a mixed marriage divorce. Using a normative juridical method and a descriptive-analytical approach, the study finds that the wife’s act of withholding her husband’s documents does not constitute extortion, but rather a form of self-protection due to the husband's failure to provide financial support. The findings emphasize that the division of marital assets in mixed marriages must consider the provisions of the Marriage Law, the Compilation of Islamic Law for Muslim couples, and the Basic Agrarian Law, especially regarding land ownership by foreign nationals. Therefore, resolving property disputes in mixed marriages requires a careful legal approach to ensure compliance with applicable laws.  

In the perspective of victimology, children who are victims of domestic violence are viewed as a vulnerable group that needs protection and justice. This study aims to analyze the patterns of victimization, factors, and legal protection for child victims of Domestic Violence in Ciruas Pasar Village. The research method used in this study is empirical juridical. The data sources consist of primary and secondary data collected using interview techniques and field studies, and analyzed using qualitative descriptive methods. The results of this study indicate that children as victims of Domestic Violence experience complex victimization, including physical and verbal violence perpetrated by the father figure with a background of economic problems and emotional instability. The lack of public awareness, the victims' courage to report, and limited access to rehabilitation services are factors contributing to the inadequate implementation of legal protection for child victims of Domestic Violence in Ciruas Pasar Village. Therefore, synergy between the government, law enforcement agencies, social institutions, and the community is needed to create a more effective, inclusive, and sustainable child protection system.

Gender-based violence against women and children is a serious problem in Indonesia that reflects the inequality of social structures and the weakness of legal implementation. This study aims to examine the extent to which the Indonesian legal system is able to provide fair, equal, and gender-responsive protection to victims of violence, as well as assess the challenges in its application. The type of research used is a normative-critical study with a Feminist Legal Theory approach. The results of the analysis show that although there are regulatory advances such as the TPKS Law and the Presidential Instruction on Gender Mainstreaming, their application is still biased, not victim-friendly, and lacks a gender perspective. In conclusion, the law in Indonesia has not fully guaranteed substantive justice for victims. Therefore, it is recommended that legal reforms based on victims' experiences, increasing the capacity of law enforcement officials, and strengthening victim service institutions to encourage inclusive and transformative justice.

The protection of victims of sexual violence in Indonesia's national legal system is representative of the state's commitment to uphold human dignity, as mandated by the constitution. The constitutional basis for this protection is stated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, especially Article 28G paragraph (1), which states that everyone has the right to protection of privacy, honor, dignity, and freedom from treatment that degrades human values. Currently, sexual violence can occur anywhere, especially in the scope of education. The impact of sexual violence causes a lot of harm to its victims, from the impact on the victim's psychology to the physical impact. The purpose of the research is related to the effectiveness of law enforcement or the operation of the law and the background of the law. Whether a legal protection can protect the rights of victims of sexual violence, and provide proper protection that must be obtained for victims of sexual violence. This research uses emprical research methods and a case approach which is used to analyze the handling of cases of “Sexual Violence and Forced Abortion” as a real form of legal application. With the existence of legal protection for victims of sexual violence provided by the state, it does not guarantee victims get the promised justice. Social stigma is one that can exacerbate the suffering of victims, making them isolated and reluctant to seek help. Society often tends to blame the victim, creating an unsupportive and even demeaning environment. Therefore, it is important to address social stigma in the context of sexual violence to impact the well-being of the individual as well as society as a whole.

Domestic Violence (Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga/KDRT) is a complex social phenomenon that requires continuous legal and social attention. In the context of Indonesia, the protection of domestic violence victims has been regulated under Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence, which affirms that victims are entitled to protection, recovery, and legal assistance. However, the implementation of these protections faces several structural and cultural obstacles, such as social stigma against victims, limited human resources, and the influence of patriarchal culture that legitimizes violence within the household. Using normative legal research methods with statutory and conceptual approaches, this article analyzes the policy framework for the protection of domestic violence victims in Indonesia, as well as the roles of government and non-government institutions in providing such protection. The results of this study show that although the legal protection of domestic violence victims is clearly regulated, its implementation in practice remains suboptimal due to social and structural barriers. Therefore, strong legal policies must be supported by the synergy of law enforcement institutions, social organizations, and community participation to ensure effective and sustainable protection for victims. These findings are expected to contribute to the formulation of future policies that are more responsive to the protection of the rights of domestic violence victims.

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a significant social problem in Indonesia, where women and children are often victims. This study aims to analyze economic factors that increase vulnerability to GBV and evaluate the effectiveness of existing legal protection. The research method used is empirical legal with a qualitative approach, involving interviews, focus group discussions, and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that poor economic conditions, patriarchal norms, and limited access to education and legal services contribute to high levels of vulnerability. Although there are laws that protect victims, such as Law No. 23 of 2004, its effectiveness is still in doubt due to the lack of socialization and understanding of the law in the community and law enforcement officers. Many victims do not report because of social stigma and lack of information about their rights. The researcher suggests that there are concrete steps in increasing legal socialization, providing integrated services for victims, and policy reform so that legal protection can be more effective and responsive to the needs of GBV victims, as well as to reduce the rate of violence.

The Child Protection Law affirms that the state guarantees children's rights to “protection from violence” as stipulated in the 1945 Constitution. This paper examines child abuse within the framework of Indonesian positive law using a normative approach and legal philosophy (positivism). The focus of the analysis is to what extent legal norms (such as the Child Protection Law, the Criminal Code, the Domestic Violence Law, etc.) align with the values of justice and children's human rights. A normative approach is used to analyze the laws and legal literature, while the philosophical approach, particularly the positivist ideas of Hans Kelsen and H.L.A. Hart, is employed to understand the relationship between legal norms and the concept of justice. The analysis reveals that although child protection regulations exist, their implementation on the ground tends to be legalistic, often neglecting humanitarian and justice elements. This study emphasizes the need for alignment between legal norms and substantive justice and the protection of children's human rights. The implication of this research is the need for a legal policy that is more responsive to children's rights and justice.

Children are a vulnerable group frequently subjected to sexual violence, whether in the form of physical abuse, psychological harm, or sexual exploitation such as pornography and prostitution. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of legal regulations in providing protection for children against sexual violence crimes. The research is motivated by the high rate of sexual violence against children in Indonesia and the suboptimal implementation of existing regulations in ensuring justice and safety for victims. The research method used is a normative juridical approach with descriptive-qualitative analysis through the study of national laws, international conventions, and relevant literature. The findings reveal that although Indonesia has enacted regulations such as Law Number 35 of 2014 and ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child, their implementation still faces challenges including social stigma, insufficient legal support for children, and bureaucratic delays. This study concludes that legal protection for child victims of sexual violence must be strengthened through regulatory reform, institutional capacity building, and synergy between the state, society, and local communities.

Domestic Violence (DV) is a serious human rights violation, particularly affecting women as a vulnerable group. Gorontalo City has seen a significant rise in DV cases, reflecting weak prevention efforts and law enforcement. Although Law No. 23/2004 regulates the elimination of DV, its local implementation faces structural, cultural, and resource-related challenges. This study analyzes the effectiveness of DV law enforcement in Gorontalo and identifies key obstacles. Using an empirical juridical method with a qualitative approach, data were collected through field research, interviews with law enforcers, and document analysis. The findings reveal that despite procedural efforts, barriers such as low public legal awareness, partiality among officials, limited victim protection facilities, and patriarchal norms hinder effective enforcement. Law enforcement remains ineffective due to weak institutional synergy and victims’ reluctance to seek justice. The study recommends specialized training for law enforcers, strengthening integrated victim services, and intensive legal outreach to build a more responsive environment to DV issues.

Spring steel is one type of material that is widely used in various engineering applications, such as vehicle suspension systems and equipment that require resistance to dynamic loads. Spring steel possesses various mechanical characteristics that are strongly influenced by the microstructure of the material. These characteristics remain consistently affected throughout the entire material. Heating that occurs due to exposure to flame can alter certain microstructural properties of spring steel and affect its performance. In this study, an analysis was carried out on all changes in the microstructure of spring steel caused by flame heating, as well as its effect on the hardness of the material. The results of the study showed that heating can indeed cause changes in the microstructural phase and a decrease in fatigue resistance of the spring steel.

The manufacturing industry continues to develop quality to improve productivity and business sustainability. One method commonly used in metal surface treatment is the anodizing process. One of these industries is the electroplating industry which uses chemicals as aluminum dyes that damage the environment. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of using natural dyes turmeric, dragon fruit, and pandan leaves as coloring materials in the anodizing process of bicycle components on their hardness. The specimen used in this study is 1100 aluminum. The results showed that the highest hardness value using dragon fruit natural dye was 204.775 VHN.

Online loan-based financing services are increasingly attracting public interest because of the simplicity and rapidity of the procedure. However, in practice there are often violations of consumer rights, especially in the collection process by debt collectors who use violence and misuse personal information. This research seeks to assess the legal safeguards provided to consumers who use the Rupiah Plus application against such practices. By using a juridical-normative approach by examining applicable laws, regulations, and relevant case studies, this research reveals that although legal protection exists in a normative sense, its enforcement remains inadequate. Protective measures may be taken both preventively and repressively, while conflict resolution can be approached through judicial proceedings or alternative non-litigation methods.
