Pemahaman Kelompok Masyarakat di Kelurahan Pancoran Mas, Kota Depok terhadap Undang-Undang Tindak Pidana Kekerasan Seksual

Abstract

Violences, especially sexual violence, are still happen in Indonesia. The number of researches, reports,and surveys conducted by several government agencies showed that sexual violence can happen to anyone,both women and men. Therefore, the government and the House of Representatives have approved andratified Law No. 12 of 2022 on Sexual Violence Crime. As a new law, the public understanding of theregulation is still very minimal. In fact, the Law lists the types of sexual violence, which are often carried outby some people in Indonesia without them realizing that it is sexual violence. Therefore, the Law on SexualViolence Crime needs to be disseminated more massively to the wider community to provide anunderstanding to the public about the prevention and handling of sexual violence. The socialization of the lawneeds to involve many parties, including the government, society, academics, and the entrepreneur. This is tocreate an Indonesia that is free from sexual violence.
