This study aimed to analyze the image of women in sexual violence news through a corpus linguistics approach to detik.com online news in the period 2023–2025. Using AntConc software, an analysis was conducted on the frequency, collocation, and concordance of the word "women" in the context of sexual violence news reporting. The results of the study showed that the word "women" most often appeared together with words such as "violence", "victims", and "sexual", which indicated the dominant narrative of women as vulnerable and in need of protection. Collocations such as violence against women and women's protection reinforce the image of women as objects of victimization.

Therefore, a fairer and victim-oriented reporting approach was needed in order to build social awareness that was gender-just.
