Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of digital campaigns in increasing public awareness about gender equality and reducing the incidence of violence and sexual harassment against women and girls. By leveraging social media platforms and online media, digital campaigns can be a powerful tool for mobilizing public opinion and driving the necessary social change. The research approach used is a mixed method which includes in-depth interviews with 30 interviewees and the distribution of 200 questionnaires to the community in West Sumatra, one of the regions with the highest incidence of sexual violence in Indonesia (qualitative-quantitative). The data was analyzed using Nvivo 12+ software and Smart PLS so that comprehensive and valid results were obtained. This research shows that digital campaigns have great potential to influence people's attitudes towards gender issues, increase understanding of gender equality, and help reduce the rate of sexual violence and harassment. The study provides recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders to increase the adoption and use of digital campaigns as a key strategy to achieve gender equality and protect women and girls from violence.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of catcalling as a form of verbal and nonverbal sexual harassment experienced by women in public spaces. Although catcalling is often perceived as a joke, compliment, or harmless behavior, it can evoke feelings of discomfort, fear, anger, embarrassment, and insecurity among victims. This study aims to explore women's understanding of catcalling, identify the forms of catcalling occurring in Pariaman, and analyze the factors contributing to its occurrence. A qualitative approach was employed using purposive sampling, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, documentation, and a literature review. The findings reveal that while some participants were familiar with the term catcalling, not all recognized it as a form of sexual harassment. The identified forms of catcalling included whistling, winking, suggestive gestures, flirtatious remarks, comments on women's bodies, and intrusive staring that caused discomfort. Catcalling commonly occurred in public places such as markets, streets, and workplaces. The findings further indicate that catcalling is closely associated with patriarchal culture, the objectification of women's bodies, and the widespread misconception that such behavior is merely playful or harmless. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of gender-based harassment in public spaces and highlights the need for greater public awareness and preventive measures to protect women's safety and dignity.
