Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms of legal protection for victims of sexual violence, the application of a victimological perspective, and the obstacles faced by the Universitas Negeri Medan Satgas PPKPT in providing such protection. The study employs an empirical-juridical method with a qualitative approach. Data were gathered through literature reviews, interviews, and documentation involving informants, including the Chair and Secretary of the Universitas Negeri Medan Satgas PPKPT and students from the Faculty of Social Sciences at the same university. The findings indicate that the legal protection provided by the Satgas PPKPT encompasses victim assistance, confidentiality of identity, counseling services, monitoring of the victim's condition, and recommendations for sanctions against perpetrators. This protection aligns with victim rights provisions stipulated in the Law on the Crime of Sexual Violence (UU TPKS), particularly regarding the rights to handling, protection, and recovery. The victimological perspective is applied through a victim-centered approach that prioritizes safety, comfort, recovery, and the prevention of revictimization.
