This study aims to evaluate the Resource Development and Installation (RDI) technique to reduce symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in female victims of domestic violence. Domestic violence (which falls under the category of intimate partner violence/IPV) is a global public health problem that contributes significantly to women's mental health disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Recent systematic evidence shows a strong association between various forms of IPV and adverse mental health outcomes in women, with large variations in prevalence across contexts. Resource Development and Installation (RDI) is a psychological stabilization procedure within EMDR aimed at generating positive resources in individuals exposed to traumatic experiences. The research method used in this study was multiple baseline with a single case (single case research), namely research conducted on subjects with the aim of determining the magnitude of the effect of treatment given repeatedly over a certain period. This study involved three adult female participants who experienced trauma symptoms due to violence perpetrated by an intimate partner in a domestic context. The data analysis technique used in this study was visual inspection by comparing changes in trauma scores in respondents between the baseline and intervention phases. Trauma symptoms were measured using the Harvard Trauma Questionnaire (HTQ). There was a decrease in HTQ scores from an average of 2.9 (presence of PTSD symptoms) before the intervention to 2.1 (minimal). Resources Development and Installation were effective in reducing trauma symptoms in female victims of violence. This was evident in the decrease in trauma symptom scores between before and after the provision of Resources Development and Installation to female victims of violence.

Bullying is one of the issues that frequently occurs in elementary school environments and has serious impacts on children’s psychological, social, and academic development.

Sexual violence among adolescents is an increasingly serious issue, exacerbated by limited knowledge and lack of education, which heightens their vulnerability. One innovative approach to addressing this problem is the use of educational applications such as BEYDI (Self-Empowerment), designed to enhance adolescents’ awareness and knowledge of sexual violence prevention.

The study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The population consisted of 63 eighth-grade students from classes 8A and 8B, selected through total sampling. Data were collected using pretest and posttest questionnaires and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results indicated a significant increase in students’ knowledge after receiving the educational intervention via the BEYDI application (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that the BEYDI app-based education was effective in enhancing students’ knowledge of sexual violence prevention and can be considered an interactive and efficient alternative educational tool in the school setting.

Socialization of the Law is not only the government's obligation, but the obligation of all of us. Socialization of the Law serves to introduce the public to the applicable Law, because often the public does not know that their actions are against the law and beyond the limits of their authority. The socialization of the Law this time was carried out in the Class I Detention Center in Surabaya, namely the Medaeng Waru Sidoarjo Detention Center. The form of this activity is to provide legal counseling and introduce the PKDRT Law and the Child Protection Law to the inmates of the Class I Surabaya Detention Center, all of whom are men. Because the perpetrators of violence against women and children have been dominated by men, this activity is considered a targeted activity, considering that so far the socialization of the PKDRT and Child Protection Law has been carried out more often against women, so that they are aware of the law and do not become victims of violence. Meanwhile, this activity is expected to be able to be a preventive and repressive action so that not many men become perpetrators of violence. So that this activity becomes a balancing act so that the socialization of the PKDRT Law and the Child Protection Law is not only aimed at women as parties who are vulnerable to experiencing (becoming victims) of violence, but also to men who are also vulnerable to becoming perpetrators of violence. After this activity, it is hoped that the participants of this legal socialization (counseling) will become closer to the PKDRT Law and the Child Protection Law so that they can later become good husbands, good fathers, and good men who can protect their wives' children from violence.
