It also includes an analysis of case files and the effectiveness of local legal programs in providing relief to domestic violence victims.Findings and Results: The research finds that while legal aid organizations play a crucial role in helping victims seek protection orders and legal redress, cultural stigmas and limited infrastructure make it difficult for women to access these services.Urgency: Domestic violence remains a widespread issue in many parts of Indonesia, particularly in rural and remote areas. Urgent efforts are needed to ensure that legal protections are accessible to all women, regardless of location.Contribution: This paper highlights the specific needs of domestic violence survivors in remote regions and demonstrates how tailored legal services can address gender injustices effectively.Recommendation: The study recommends expanding outreach programs, training community-based legal workers, and developing culturally sensitive legal advocacy programs to address gender-based violence in isolated areas.]]>
