Strategy for Establishing a Center for Handling Sexual Violence Against Women in Kabila District

Abstrak

Women are the most victims of sexual violence, this phenomenon also occurs in Gorontalo Province, based on data from the Ministry of Tourism, there are 169 victims and the most recorded is sexual violence with 122 cases. The government has established Law No. 12/2022 concerning the Crime of Sexual Violence and established several task forces under the supervision of the Women's Empowerment Service, but in reality this has not had a significant impact on the handling and prevention of sexual violence against women, so another pattern is needed to maximize the protection of women from sexual violence. The aim of this research is to provide the main reasons and strategies for establishing a center for handling sexual violence against women, especially in Kabila sub-district with the specific target that village officials and village bhabinkabtibmas have basic knowledge regarding special assistance in cases of sexual violence against women. The method used is empirical juridical by conducting direct observations at the research location, namely in Kabila District, the data obtained will be processed qualitatively, which is descriptive narrative in nature. The pattern of handling and preventing sexual violence against women must have a forum consisting of a combination of several stakeholders who are professional and have a shared commitment. Village/district government elements and law enforcement and this forum can be easily accessed by the community at the sub-district level..
