Analysis of the Implementation of Protection for Domestic Violence (KDRT) Victims in Indonesia

Abstract

Domestic violence in Indonesia is seen as a form of human rights violations and acts of discrimination. The Indonesian government issued a policy of Law number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence. One of the goals of eliminating domestic violence is to protect victims. Protection is intended to provide a sense of security to the victim. This study focuses on the implementation of protection for victims of domestic violence. This research is a literature research with a descriptive qualitative approach. The results of the study revealed that the implementation of protection for victims of domestic violence was carried out through collaboration between stakeholders in accordance with their respective duties and responsibilities. Problems that still occur are the attitude of law enforcement officers who are less responsive in providing services; the available resources are not sufficient; the low awareness of the public to report incidents of domestic violence experienced or witnessed resulted in not many cases of domestic violence being revealed to the surface so that law enforcement officers were unable to provide protection.
