<![CDATA[Domestic violence (KDRT) against women remains a serious social crisis in Indonesia, with cases recorded by Komnas Perempuan rising from 5,526 in 2022 to 19,045 in 2024 (CATAHU, 2024). This study aims to analyze the characteristics and patterns of KDRT against women as reported in Kompas.com news coverage from 2022 to 2024. This research uses quantitative content analysis methods with saturated sampling technique, analyzing 109 news cases involving KDRT against women. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis and presented in frequency distribution tables. The results show that: (1) perpetrators were predominantly male (97.2%), in the productive adult age group (97.2%), and working as laborers (38.5%); (2) victims were mostly housewives (IRT) (60.6%) in the adult age group (92.7%); (3) violence most frequently occurred in private domestic spaces (95.4%), with economic factors as the main motive (25.7%), and the most common method was hitting without weapons (53.2%); and (4) the perpetrator-victim relationship was predominantly husband-wife (93.6%). Through the lens of gender nurture theory, these findings indicate that KDRT is not a natural or individual phenomenon, but rather the product of social and cultural construction rooted in patriarchal norms, unequal gender socialization, and power imbalances in household relations.]]>
