<![CDATA[Gender-based political violence is a structural barrier to women's participation in local political spaces, yet community-level early-detection and referral mechanisms remain limited. This article reports the outcomes of a community service program conducted with the Women's Crisis Center (WCC) Nurani Perempuan in Padang City to strengthen women community cadres as early-detection and first-response agents for gender-based political violence (GBPV), while establishing a Community-Based Safe Documentation and Referral System (SIDARU-KP). Training was delivered through a five-unit, participatory, trauma-informed curriculum covering GBPV typologies, early detection, victim-protection principles, a six-step first-response protocol, and sustainable prevention. Training effectiveness was assessed through pre-test and post-test scores among 21 women cadres drawn from community networks across multiple districts in West Sumatra. Results show a mean score increase from 43.7% to 63.9% (paired t-test, t(20) = 4.07; p < .001), a normalized gain (N-gain) of 0.38 (moderate category), 80.95% of participants improving their scores (exceeding the ≥70% target indicator), and 61.9% of cadres meeting the program's minimum knowledge-mastery standard. Beyond knowledge gains, the program produced SIDARU-KP as a non-digital and semi-digital social technology comprising a standardized case-documentation form, a six-step first-response protocol (AMAN), a four-tier urgency-based referral decision matrix, a six-stage referral pathway, and a code-based confidentiality mechanism, all designed to operate without specialized technology so that resource-constrained communities can adopt and sustain the system independently.]]>
