A woman who is a victim of sexual violence faces too many obstacles when
it comes to accessing justice or needing legal protection. Weak laws and negative
views of victims of violence are considered to be the basic reasons why not many
women report the violence they experience. And it becomes more difficult in
layers when the perpetrator is a public official or public figure. There is an
imbalance in power relations where the perpetrator may use his relations and
power to influence the victim's access to justice. This results in impunity for
perpetrators while victims of violence do not have their rights to justice, truth and
recovery fulfilled
Legal aid institutions As part of its initiative to protect women and
children from sexual violence, the Indonesian government has offered legal aid
through the Women and Children Protection UPT. People in Indonesia have felt
the benefits of community and government efforts in providing legal assistance.
Based on a study by the Pekanbaru Legal Aid Center, PBH Pekanbaru as a law
firm should naturally take legal action to help all its customers. The first line of
defense against sexual violence is Psychosocial, Paralegal Post, Advocacy and
Safe House.
