It is no longer a secret that domestic violence, particularly violence against women and children, happens in Indonesia. In Indonesia, the number of violent cases is among the greatest. 80.2% of confirmed incidents of domestic abuse in 2021 involved women, while 19.8% involved males, according to statistics gathered by the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection. 58.0% of female victims reported domestic abuse in their home, depending on where the incident occurred.  The formulation of the problem from this study is how to arrange protection for victims of domestic violence and whether the regulations on domestic violence have provided protection for victims of Decision Number 31/Pid.Sus/2021/PN Mna. The research methodology is a descriptive analytical normative legal research approach that employs qualitative analysis. Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic abuse has normatively provided legal protection for victims of domestic abuse, according to the study's findings. However, more implementation of these provisions—both in the form of policies and actions is required.
