Sexual violence against women and children in Palembang City continues to increase, encouraging the emergence of women's movements such as the Women's Crisis Center (WCC) Palembang, which focuses on the issue of violence against women. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of WCC Palembang's role in advocating for victims of sexual violence and identifying the obstacles faced. This research uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, with data obtained through observation, interviews and documentation. The subjects in this research comprised three sources: the Executive Director, the Supporting Staff, and the WCC Palembang Program Coordinator. After the data is collected, it is analyzed in three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The research results show that even though there are internal obstacles, such as limited funds and human resources, WCC Palembang is effective in advocating for victims of violence and plays an active role in collecting data on the National Commission on Violence against Women's CATAHU. WCC Palembang has also made a significant contribution to dealing with sexual violence in Palembang City.
