Abstract

Sexual violence in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) remains a structural problem shaped by unequal power relations, institutional silence, and limited reporting mechanisms. This study examines how the digital public sphere transformed collective consciousness in the Ndholo Kusumo Islamic Boarding School case in Pati Regency, Indonesia. Using a qualitative intrinsic case study, data were collected from online news reports, social media discussions, official government statements, and relevant secondary documents published between January 2024 to May 2026. Data were analyzed using framing analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The findings show that digital visibility enabled the case to gain wider public attention and challenged institutional silence. Public discourse shifted from protecting institutional legitimacy toward demands for victim protection, institutional accountability, and systemic reform. This transformation involved interconnected processes of digital visibility, framing contestation, counter-public discourse, collective consciousness, collective action framing, and institutional accountability. The study demonstrates that the digital public sphere functions as a contested communicative arena in which marginalized voices gain visibility, public meanings are negotiated, and demands for accountability are articulated. The findings contribute to understanding how digital communication can strengthen collective consciousness and public participation in addressing sexual violence within religious educational institutions.
