Abstract

Gender-based violence remains a pervasive human rights issue in Indonesia, despite recent legal reforms aimed at strengthening victim protection and ensuring access to justice. The enactment of the Sexual Violence Crime Law (Law No. 12 of 2022) represents a significant milestone in Indonesia’s legal framework for addressing sexual violence. This article examines the implementation of the law and evaluates its effectiveness in responding to gender-based violence from a feminist legal perspective. Using a normative juridical approach complemented by qualitative analysis of statutory regulations, policy documents, and reported cases, the study investigates the extent to which the law has transformed institutional responses to victims. The findings reveal that while the legislation introduces comprehensive definitions of sexual violence, victim-centered protection mechanisms, and broader state obligations, substantial implementation challenges persist. These include limited institutional capacity, inadequate law enforcement training, socio-cultural stigmatization of victims, and uneven coordination among relevant agencies. The study further identifies tensions between progressive legal norms and patriarchal social structures that continue to shape legal practices and public perceptions. The article argues that legal reform alone is insufficient to eradicate gender-based violence without parallel institutional, cultural, and educational transformations. By assessing the early implementation of the Sexual Violence Crime Law, this study contributes to ongoing debates on feminist legal reform and offers policy recommendations for strengthening victim protection and improving access to justice in Indonesia. The findings also provide insights for other jurisdictions seeking to develop comprehensive legal responses to sexual violence within complex socio-cultural contexts.

Abstract

Although Indonesia has raised the minimum legal age of marriage to nineteen years for both men and women, the continued prevalence of marriage dispensation applications raises concerns regarding the effectiveness of legal reform in preventing child marriage. This article critically examines marriage dispensation practices in Indonesian Religious Courts through the lens of feminist legal theory. Employing normative legal research and qualitative analysis of court decisions, legislation, and judicial considerations, the study explores how judges interpret and apply legal standards when granting marriage dispensations. The findings indicate that judicial reasoning frequently prioritizes social, cultural, and familial considerations over the protection of children’s rights and gender equality principles. In many cases, pregnancy, family pressure, and concerns about social stigma become dominant factors influencing judicial decisions. Such practices risk reproducing structural gender inequalities and undermining the objectives of child protection legislation. The article argues that the persistence of child marriage cannot be understood solely as a legal issue but must be analyzed within broader socio-cultural and patriarchal contexts that shape judicial attitudes and institutional practices. Furthermore, the study highlights inconsistencies in judicial interpretations and the absence of clear criteria for assessing the best interests of the child. By offering a feminist legal critique, this article contributes to scholarly discussions on child rights, gender justice, and judicial reform. It recommends strengthening judicial guidelines, enhancing gender-sensitive legal training, and adopting a rights-based approach that prioritizes children's welfare and long-term development outcomes in marriage dispensation proceedings.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of Indonesia’s digital economy has generated new employment opportunities while simultaneously creating challenges for labor protection, particularly for women workers engaged in informal and platform-based work. This article investigates the intersection of gender, labor rights, and digital employment by examining the legal protection available to women workers in Indonesia’s evolving digital economy. Using a socio-legal research approach, the study analyzes labor regulations, policy frameworks, and existing literature on digital labor markets. The findings demonstrate that women increasingly participate in gig work, online commerce, and platform-mediated services due to the flexibility these arrangements provide. However, such forms of employment often fall outside traditional labor protections, exposing women to income insecurity, discrimination, lack of social security coverage, and heightened vulnerability to exploitation. The study also reveals that existing labor regulations struggle to address the ambiguous legal status of platform workers, creating regulatory gaps that disproportionately affect women. From a feminist legal perspective, the article argues that labor policies must recognize gender-specific vulnerabilities and address structural inequalities embedded within digital labor markets. Effective labor protection requires a combination of regulatory reform, expanded social protection mechanisms, and gender-responsive employment policies. This research contributes to emerging scholarship on digital labor governance and highlights the need for inclusive legal frameworks capable of balancing innovation, economic growth, and workers’ rights. The findings offer practical recommendations for policymakers seeking to promote decent work and gender equality in Indonesia’s digital transformation.

Abstract

The increasing use of digital platforms has transformed journalism while simultaneously exposing women journalists to various forms of cyber harassment. In Indonesia, online abuse directed at women journalists constitutes a growing threat to freedom of expression, professional safety, and gender equality. This article examines the nature of cyber harassment against women journalists and evaluates the adequacy of Indonesia’s legal framework in addressing such violations. Employing a feminist legal approach, the study analyzes legislation, policy instruments, documented cases, and relevant academic literature concerning online gender-based violence. The findings indicate that women journalists frequently experience gendered attacks, including sexualized threats, intimidation, doxxing, and coordinated online harassment campaigns. These practices not only affect individual well-being but also undermine media independence and democratic participation. Although Indonesia possesses several legal instruments that may be applied to cyber harassment cases, enforcement remains inconsistent and often fails to adequately recognize the gendered dimensions of online violence. The study further reveals that institutional responses frequently prioritize technical or criminal aspects while neglecting the structural inequalities that facilitate digital abuse. A feminist legal analysis demonstrates the necessity of integrating gender-sensitive approaches into legal interpretation, law enforcement practices, and digital governance frameworks. The article concludes that stronger legal protections, enhanced reporting mechanisms, and coordinated institutional responses are essential for safeguarding women journalists in digital environments. The findings contribute to broader discussions on digital rights, media freedom, and gender justice in contemporary democracies.

Abstract

Agrarian conflicts in Indonesia frequently involve competing claims over land, natural resources, and customary territories, with indigenous women often experiencing unique forms of marginalization. This article explores indigenous women’s land rights through an intersectional framework that considers the interaction of gender, ethnicity, customary identity, and socio-economic status in agrarian disputes. Using a socio-legal and qualitative research approach, the study examines legal frameworks, policy developments, and documented cases involving indigenous communities affected by land conflicts. The findings reveal that indigenous women face multiple layers of exclusion arising from both external legal structures and internal customary practices. While national laws increasingly recognize indigenous rights, implementation gaps and overlapping regulatory regimes continue to limit effective protection. Moreover, women’s participation in decision-making processes concerning land governance remains constrained by patriarchal norms embedded within both state and customary institutions. The study argues that conventional approaches to land rights often overlook the intersecting forms of discrimination experienced by indigenous women, thereby reinforcing inequalities in access, ownership, and control over land resources. Applying intersectionality theory enables a more nuanced understanding of how legal and social structures interact to shape women’s experiences in agrarian conflicts. The article contributes to contemporary debates on indigenous rights, gender justice, and legal pluralism by emphasizing the importance of inclusive land governance. It recommends integrating gender-sensitive and intersectional perspectives into agrarian policies, legal reforms, and conflict-resolution mechanisms to ensure substantive equality and sustainable protection of indigenous women’s land rights.
