Inisiasi Pembekalan Beladiri Praktis Sebagai Sarana Non-Penal Terhadap Ancaman Kekerasan Seksual di Lingkungan Kampus

The threat of sexual violence in Indonesia, which is getting worse day by day, has become an urgency for all levels of society in Indonesia. Inappropriate legal interpretations in society often raise big question marks about the protection of victims of sexual violence. Therefore, how is forced defense (noodwear) implemented as a reason for abolition of criminal penalties in Indonesia? At the same time, how is Article 49 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code applied to crimes of morality? To solve this problem, it is not only the government that must intervene. However, people must also have self-defense, for example through practical self-defense movements that can protect themselves, but do not kill the perpetrator so that the victim does not go too far in defending himself. How to implement practical self-defense movements in an effort to protect victims of sexual violence? This is the problem we will examine to provide a solution. In this way, it is hoped that this effort will be able to produce an in-depth study regarding the protection of victims of sexual violence and how to apply practical self-defense to protect themselves when victims experience an act of sexual violence.

RESTITUTION RIGHT FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE

The legal protection for victims of sexual violence has been addressed in statutory regulations, but its implementation remains inadequate. This is evident in the lack of competence and training among law enforcers in handling victims of sexual violence, as well as the absence of psychologists/psychiatrists who can provide assistance in explaining mental conditions. The objective of this study is to examine the legal safeguards available to victims of sexual assault crimes and evaluate the compensation options provided to these victims. This study was conducted utilizing a normative juridical research methodology, which specifically involves analyzing the implementation of legal laws or norms. This research employs both a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The government has not adequately fulfilled its responsibilities in providing the necessary facilities and equipment to handle, protect, and support victims of sexual abuse. Statutory regulations have established compensation in the form of restitution, but the victim must still take initiative by submitting a request to secure the right to reparation. Restitution should be mandatory for the perpetrator/defendant to compensate the victim, irrespective of whether the victim initiates a request or not.

Background: Physical examination of victims of sexual violence is required for the preparation of a visum et repertum as evidence in trial. This review aims to discuss the role of Visum et Repertum and clinical examination of victims who have experienced sexual violence. Method: The literature search was carried out through an electronic search engine with keywords related to the purpose of the review. Discussion: Visum et Repertum is one of the pieces of evidence to reveal the incidence of sexual violence experienced by the victim.

Physicians must carry out the necessary clinical examinations to be able to interpret their findings into the Visum et Repertum requested by the police. Also, a physician has a role to help the patient's recovery by providing treatment so that the victim can recover from the trauma experienced by the victim due to sexual violence.

Image-based sexual violence and imperfect victims: the case for platform cooperativism in the online sex industry

ABSTRACT There is growing need for greater empirical understanding of the data violence experienced by online sex workers. Popular discourse about image-based sexual violence (IBSV), or ‘revenge porn’, often fails to identify the widespread proliferation of this practice within sexual services. This occurs as both consumers and adult-services platforms surreptitiously record and post performances on porn sites without consent, which can have severe implications for workers’ mental and social well-being. First, I apply a workerist lens to the neoliberal sexual agenda, which governs the (in)visibility and (un)freedom of online performers (OPs) across a variety of institutional settings. This exposes how top-down ideological power relations disappears OPs from legislative approaches to IBSV. Second, I show how IBSV emulates the tendencies of the platform business model, such as data appropriation and surveillance. I conclude with solutions including protections based in technology and human rights law, alongside platform cooperative development within a wider decriminalization framework.

Sexual violence (SV) is a major public health issue in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo, especially in the eastern part of the country where women have been victims of SV for many years. The objective of this study is to provide an overview of the survivor and perpetrator characteristics, as well as the circumstances surrounding SV incidents in Goma. We conducted a retrospective, descriptive cross-sectional study using data from all SV survivors who sought medical care at four hospitals in Goma from January 2019 to December 2020. The analysis of the data was carried out using STATA 16 software. A total of 700 women sought medical attention for SV in the four hospitals. The survivors’ age range was 12–67 years with a mean age of 31.7 ± 14.6 years. Women aged 20–29 years were the most affected (28%). The majority of SV survivors experienced their first assault (88.29%) and sought medical attention within 72 h (60.6%). The assaults occurred mostly outside the SV survivors’ homes under armed threat (84.29%), predominantly by men in civilian clothes (61.43%) compared to men in military uniform (38.57%). More than half of the survivors were assaulted by a stranger (64.71%), and of those, more than half were committed by a single perpetrator (57.29%). The findings underscore the urgent need to address this pervasive issue, emphasizing the necessity of targeted interventions to protect survivors and prevent future incidents.

THE GOVERNMENT’S ROLE IN PROTECTING INDONESIAN MIGRANT WORKERS IN SAUDI ARABIA DURING THE JOKO WIDODO ADMINISTRASION

Saudi Arabia is one of the largest destination countries for Indonesian immigrant workers, where the majority are women. Unfortunately, most of them are also victims of physical torture, sexual violence and rational discrimination. This resulted in many cases emerging as a result of this torture. However, the policies during the Jokowi era are considered quite progressive compared to the policies for protecting migrant workers during the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) period with the presence of special laws, not just Presidential Regulations as were issued during the SBY era. How and why the government plays such a significant role is the main study in this research. This research uses a qualitative approach with a library study type of research. The results found were that the government during Jokowi's leadership played a big role in protecting the rights of Indonesian migrant workers, especially in Saudi Arabia. This role is reflected in the government's responsibility in various policies which make Jokowi's policies considered pro People Diplomacy. Through the 2015-2019 Medium Term Development Plan, for example and supported by Nawa Cita, during the Jokowi government, Law Number 18 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers was issued as the highest legal umbrella which was then also followed by other policies such as bilateral cooperation and placement systems. channel (SPSK) or One Channel System. The Jokowi government's policy is based on two reasons. First, the fact that immigrant workers in Saudi Arabia contribute the largest remittance of all migrant workers in various countries, beating Malaysia (Kompas, 2023). Second, migrant workers are a potential profession to meet Indonesia's demographic bonus target in the future. Therefore, this research sees that the government's role in protecting migrant workers has been very good during the Jokowi administration. It's just that the issue of Indonesian migrant workers requires commitment from other actors who also play a very important role, such as distribution companies or providers of migrant workers.

“Thanks to my activists Friends”: a qualitative study of perspectives of young adults and professionals on the factors related to seeking support among victims of sexual violence in Spain

BackgroundSexual violence (SV) is a public health problem with high prevalence among the young population. The use of formal resources for SV care (e.g. institutional services) is low in this age group. This study applies a framework of health assets to identify the factors that positively influence the search for support for SV among young people, the functions of that support and the level of proximity as articulated by both young people and professionals.MethodsA qualitative study was conducted through 38 semi-structured interviews with young people and professionals from SV resource centers and/or care services for the young population in Spain. A thematic theoretical analysis was conducted, embedded in inductive insights emerging from the data, following a particular adaptation of the constant comparative method, under the grounded theory approach. This analysis was carried out by coding the interview transcripts with the support of Atlas.ti.ResultsYoung women identified assets, categorized as feminist, that they believe they are essential in the search for formal support services for SV. However, unlike young men, they considered the police and judicial system to be barriers and not assets. There were also differences between the young people and professionals in identifying assets. Young people also considered their partner and traditional media as health assets, in contrast to professionals who did not identify these as such valuable resources in the help-seeking process. Informal assets, such as family, friends and the internet are considered close resources. In contrast, specialized care services for gender-based violence/SV and the judicial and police systems were perceived as more distant resources among the young interviewees.ConclusionsThis study shows similarities and discrepancies among young women and men and SV response professionals in identifying assets for seeking SV support among youth. The study shows an inverse relationship between perceptions of proximity and the level of formality of the asset. This study also contributes to map the relationships and information exchanges between assets. It is advisable to inform professionals about the assets that professionals do not acknowledge, and about actions that allow young people to access formal resources.

This research was born from the author's concerns about various cases of sexual violence and bullying in the world of education, for example there were reports of 202 students being victims of sexual violence in the school environment. With the emergence of cases like this, it is necessary to make efforts to disentangle these matters, one of which is through implementing a gender-based curriculum, so that the idea of ​​studying the independence of the curriculum from a gender perspective in epistemological observations emerged. This research aims to 1) analyze how essential it is to implement gender-based values ​​in the independent curriculum in schools, 2) how the epistemological philosophical vision responds to the independent curriculum with a gender perspective. This journal study uses library study by collecting various data sourced from books, journals, articles and certain writings, one of which is data sources related to the curriculum in Indonesia or similar references to obtain valid and actual data. After carrying out the analysis, it was found that the independent curriculum really includes the values ​​of gender equality in it, including: the independent curriculum with a differentiated approach, the P5 Project for Strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile and also in the national assessment of education reports on the Gender Equality Climate assessment. From an epistemological perspective, an independent climate from a gender perspective represents a spirit that is in line with the constructivist learning paradigm. From the results of this research, it is hoped that a curriculum with a gender perspective can be implemented on a massive scale to create a more gender-equitable educational environment.

Sexual Violence Crime Reform in Indonesia: Political and Legal Characteristics of Its Formation

Handling sexual violence and gender-based violence remains a significant issue in Indonesia. The state plays a crucial role in ensuring the enforcement of laws against sexual violence by enacting Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Sexual Violence Crimes (UU TPKS).

It fulfils the state's duty to provide comprehensive legal protection, encompassing prevention, resolution, and mitigation of both psychological and material losses suffered by victims of sexual violence due to the introduction of new formulations regarding sexual violence crimes that were not present in previous legislation. The criminal law reform in UU TPKS aims to change the existing legal substance to enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement, address crime, and tackle social and humanitarian issues. UU TPKS will become the primary and foremost special regulation in combating Sexual Violence Crimes, complementing the existing legislation that previously regulated the substance of sexual violence crimes.
