Domestic violence, which mostly victimizes women , occurs within communities both behind closed doors as well as in public settings.
From the records of the Online Information System for the Protection of Women and Children , there were 15,921 cases of violence against women reported from 2022 to June 2023, with a total of 16,275 victims. Domestic violence occurs due to several factors, such as the persistent patriarchal culture in society that considers women to be of lower status than men.
Police Headquarters notes until July 2023, reports of domestic violence cases reached 2,261 cases. The biggest form of domestic violence is physical, namely 1,848 cases, while the rest are psychological violence , sexual violence , forced sexual relations , and economic neglect . Such conditions make domestic violence seem like a normal occurrence, so when a victim reports it to the police, in many cases, the victim is actually asked to reconcile with the perpetrator. Sometimes, not only are they asked, but they are forced to reconcile or forgive the perpetrator's actions.
"There are several things regulated in this Domestic Violence Law that APH still doesn't fully agree on. APH still sees the Domestic Violence Law with their own perceptions, and indeed there are certain articles in the Domestic Violence Law that are not yet very clear," said Ema.
