Human Rights as Fundamental and Universal Rights in Regulating the Fulfillment of the Rights of Women Victims of Sexual Violence

Abstract

Sexual Violence and Human Rights in Indonesia, is a crucial issue in Indonesia, taking away the human rights and dignity of victims. Stigma and lack of protection exacerbate the situation. This article examines the relationship between sexual violence and human rights in Indonesia, and explores solutions for building a future free from sexual violence. This research uses a sociolegal method (mix method) with statutory, conceptual, factual, sociological and comparative approaches. Primary data was obtained from field research in Bali, and secondary data from various sources. Sexual violence is a serious human rights violation, and states have an obligation to protect victims and enforce the law. Stigma and lack of access to recovery services hinder the fulfillment of victims' rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and other human rights instruments affirm the right to security, freedom and dignity. Sexual violence violates these human rights principles. Collective efforts are needed to build an Indonesia free from sexual violence. These efforts include: Strengthening regulations and law enforcement. Increase public education and awareness. Building a support and recovery system for victims. Combat stigma and build positive narratives about victims. This research contributes to the understanding of the relationship between sexual violence and human rights in Indonesia, and offers solutions to build a better future for victims.
