CASES WITH RELATION TO VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
The presence of a call regarding the 16 Days Campaign against Violence against Women (16HAKTP) which takes place starting on November 25 until its end on December 10, 2024 needs to be explored and introduced further to the community as part of their lives. This campaign on violence against women with the theme “Protect All, Fulfill Victims' Rights, End Violence against Women” is an appeal to a wide audience as a form of prevention of the worsening cases of gender-based violence.
Looking at the theme called for in this campaign, it is hoped that victims of violence against women can be protected by ending the violence experienced so that the rights of victims can be fulfilled from the actions they should not experience, as a response that can be done to prevent the worsening of the situation of violence that occurs especially to women.
Based on the data foreseen by the Online Information System for the Protection of Women and Children (SIMFONI PPA), it was entered that there were 24,605 reports of violence on the website in the form of verified data and unverified data (data entered in the current month), of which 21,330 cases were cases of violence against women since January 1, 2024 to date ( Real Time).
Based on the data provided by the Online Information System for the Protection of Women and Children (SIMFONI PPA), it can be calculated that 86.7 percent of the reported cases of violence were against women.
Of the numerous cases that can be addressed, one of them is the case of violence against women experienced by Almahurmah Mbatti Mbana (44) who was the victim of violence she experienced at the hands of her own lover.
The victim died due to complications from her wounds and lung damage caused by her lover, Gabriel Sengkoen (34), who burned her alive. This crime occurred in the city of Kupang, where the victim died after being treated for three days in the intensive care unit of the Regional General Hospital (RSUD) WZ Yohanes Kupang, reportedly the victim suffered burns up to 90 percent of his body, which ended in his death.
THE CLASSIFICATION OF TYPES OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
On the basis of data from the Online Information System for the Protection of Women and Children (SIMFONI PPA), cases of violence against victims can occur anywhere and at any given time, such as in the household in the form of domestic violence (KDRT), in public facilities, in their school environment, and even in their work environments.
The perpetrators of these unlawful behaviors can be any individual, such as our significant others, distant or close family members, parties in the school environment, or even our own immediate supervisors and work colleagues.
With the data provided by the Women's Health Foundation on their official homepage, it can be seen that violence itself can be classified into several types of violence, such as the most common type of violence is sexual violence, followed by physical violence, violence against the victim's psyche, as well as some violence that falls into other categories such as: neglect, trafficking, and exploitation.
With the highest age range of victims in the age range of 13-17 years, followed by the age range of 25-44 years, followed by the age range of 6-12 years, then the age range of 18-24 years, then 0-5 years, age 45-59 years, which was ended by violence that occurred to victims aged 60 years and over.
