THE LAW THAT GOVERNS
There are, naturally, laws in force in Indonesia that regulate violence against women. Some of them are in the Criminal Code (KUHP) which is regulated in Article 281, Article 289 and Article 290 which regulates indecent acts, obscene acts and physical harassment. There is also Law Number 7 of 1984 concerning the ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women where this law is one of the legal bases that protect women from violence
. Then there is the regulation of Law Number 39 of 1999 on Human Rights (HAM), which is included in one of the laws that underlie the law that protects women from violence against them. And there are also regulations that regulate the content of the protection of women's human rights in Law Number 23 of 2004 on Human Rights (HAM).Â
Followed by regulations that have recently appeared in the law governing the Indonesian society is Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Criminal Acts of Sexual Violence where this one law regulates the prevention, handling, protection and recovery of all forms of criminal acts of sexual violence experienced by victims.
THE PARTIES THAT PROTECT
In addition to legal regulations that are expected to prevent violence against women, there are also institutions that protect women from violence against them, such as the National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan).Â
 This institution was established in 1998 and is categorized as an independent institution to protect women's rights by making various efforts to prevent and combat violence against women such as reviewing policies, collecting data and facilitating cooperation.
 One of the concrete examples carried out by the National Commission on Violence against Women (Komnas Perempuan) recently is holding a campaign as a form of response to violence experienced by women in any form with the hope of reducing the victims that arise from these inappropriate actions which are carried out for 16 days from November 25, 2024 until December 10, 2024 later.
In addition to independent institutions, there is also the Women and Children Protection Unit (UPPA) of the National Police in the form of a unit tasked with providing protection to women who are victims of crimes in the form of violence in any form such as victims of trafficking and sexual harassment crimes, and enforcing the law against the perpetrators of these crimes by providing fast and professional services to victims so that a sense of security and comfort can be created for victims and processing the perpetrators of crimes up to court.
 Then there are also other parties other than the parties previously described, namely the SAPA 129 service in the form of a special service provided as a place that can be contacted by victims or other related parties to report acts of violence against women.
