<![CDATA[Human rights are entitlements inherent to every individual since the moment they exist in the womb and must be respected by all parties. However, human rights violations against women and children remain a concerning issue in Indonesia, including in Kupang City, East Nusa Tenggara. Data from Komnas Perempuan and the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (KemenPPPA) in 2023 reported a total of 712 cases of violence against women and children in the region throughout 2022. This condition underscores the need for more effective advocacy approaches to ensure adequate protection for vulnerable groups. This study aims to analyze the role of community-based human rights advocacy and the dynamics of online activism in addressing violence against women and children in Kupang City. The research employs a literature review method with a descriptive qualitative approach by examining official documents, institutional reports, scholarly articles, and statistical data from credible sources such as Komnas Perempuan and SIMFONI PPA. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns of connection between community advocacy and digital movements. The findings indicate that community organizations, such as the Women’s Voice Studio Foundation (SSP), play a significant role in victim recovery and empowerment. Meanwhile, online activism through digital campaigns, such as #KupangLawanKekerasan, expands the reach of information dissemination and enhances public awareness. The integration of these two approaches produces a hybrid advocacy model that is more responsive, effective, and sustainable in promoting the rights of women and children at the local level.]]>
