Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find a solution to the weakness of the dispute resolution regulation on the results of the village head election, which is considered to have caused ongoing problems due to the existence of a legal vacuum related to the mechanism for fulfilling the rights of the people who are harmed by the determination of the results of the Village Head Election. This research contributes to creating a dispute resolution model for the election of village heads based on local wisdom values in Indonesia.  This study uses empirical legal research methods with socio-legal and anthropo-legal approaches. The results of this study reveal that the proposed model, which involves the existence of judicial institutions at the village level that apply informally and are used as a legal tradition of the Madura community, can be a game-changer in resolving disputes over the results of village heads. This method is considered able to resolve Village head election disputes more quickly and peacefully because they are determined by figures who influence the socio-cultural structure of the Madura community. The results of this study can be used as a reference in implementing policies and legal arrangements related to the dispute resolution mechanism for the results of the Village head election, either independently by the village government or by the Pamekasan Regency Government in making Regional Regulations (Perda) related to the settlement of disputes over the results of the Village head election in Pamekasan Regency.

Abstract

This study examines sexual harassment against women in Indonesia as a structural manifestation deeply rooted in social, cultural, and institutional inequality rather than as an isolated phenomenon. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach through literature review and socio-legal analysis, this research identifies key factors that perpetuate sexual violence, including the surplus of male power within patriarchal structures, victim blaming practices, the lack of sexual and gender awareness education, stigma surrounding reporting, and the objectification of women in the media. These interrelated factors not only reflect the symbolic domination of men over women’s bodies and spaces but also highlight the state’s and society’s failure to establish a comprehensive and just protection system. The findings reveal that addressing sexual harassment requires cross-sectoral, holistic, and sustainable interventions. Progressive legal reforms such as the implementation of the Sexual Violence Crime Law (UU TPKS) must be accompanied by comprehensive, gender-based sexual education, victim-centered law enforcement, and strengthened media ethics in reporting violence. Accordingly, the study recommends that the government enhance the implementation of UU TPKS by improving the capacity of law enforcement officers, expanding integrated protection services across regions, and incorporating comprehensive sexual education into the national curriculum. Society must actively reject the normalization of violence and eliminate stigma against victims, while civil society organizations, educational institutions, and the media should strengthen collaboration to promote awareness, victim-oriented policies, and ethical reporting practices. The synergy among these sectors is crucial to building an inclusive, just, and sustainable system to eradicate sexual harassment against women in Indonesia.
