Abstract

This study aims to analyze the application of the principles of equality and non-discrimination in Indonesian civil law as well as its harmonization with international legal standards. These principles form an essential foundation in protecting human rights and ensuring justice for all citizens without any discriminatory treatment. The research method used is normative, with a documentary study approach and comparative analysis of national legislation and related international legal instruments. The results show that although national legal norms have accommodated the principles of equality and non-discrimination, challenges in implementation still arise due to socio-cultural factors, limited understanding among legal officials, and a lack of regulations addressing modern discrimination issues. This study emphasizes the need to strengthen regulations, enhance the capacity of legal officials, and educate the public as efforts to effectively enforce these principles. A more progressive legal harmonization is expected to support the realization of social justice and human rights protection in Indonesia.

Abstract

Sexual violence remains a persistent structural problem in Indonesian society, and rural communities in particular suffer from low legal literacy and limited access to formal complaint mechanisms. The enactment of Law Number 12 of 2022 on the Crime of Sexual Violence (UU TPKS) marked a paradigm shift by placing prevention, victim protection, and community participation at the center of the national legal framework. Yet the effectiveness of this law depends on how far its norms are translated into practice at the village level, where legal education is often sporadic and complaint channels remain distant from ordinary citizens. This article examines the urgency of continuous legal education on the TPKS Act and explores the establishment of village-based community complaint centers as an institutional bridge between normative protection and practical accessibility. Employing normative juridical research with statutory and conceptual approaches, the study analyzes the TPKS Act, the Village Law, and their implementing regulations alongside recent socio-legal literature. The findings show that community complaint centers, when embedded in sustained legal education and linked to formal referral pathways such as UPTD PPA, can strengthen early detection, reporting, and victim assistance. The article recommends a collaborative model integrating village government, community-based service providers, and law enforcement to operationalize the participatory mandate of the TPKS Act.
