<![CDATA[Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a significant social problem in Indonesia, where women and children are often victims. This study aims to analyze economic factors that increase vulnerability to GBV and evaluate the effectiveness of existing legal protection. The research method used is empirical legal with a qualitative approach, involving interviews, focus group discussions, and documentation studies. The results of the study indicate that poor economic conditions, patriarchal norms, and limited access to education and legal services contribute to high levels of vulnerability. Although there are laws that protect victims, such as Law No. 23 of 2004, its effectiveness is still in doubt due to the lack of socialization and understanding of the law in the community and law enforcement officers.
