The purpose of the Indonesian State listed in the constitution is to protect the entire

Indonesian people. One form of protection for citizens is the protection of the right to be free

from threats and violence. But in fact in the last three years cases of sexual violence tend to

increase. During the period of 2019 there were 3,528 cases of sexual violence. After draft of the

Women's Violence Bill (RUU P-KS) fails to be ratified by the DPR from 2016 to 2020, it should

be further examined and analyzed how the consequences and impact on efforts to protect
women from violence. As well as any efforts that have been made by the Indonesian

government to take preventive and repressive measures against cases of sexual violence that

afflict women. This study seeks to examine juridical rules related to the protection of women

both in the realm of legislation and policies made by the Government. This study uses a

normative juridical approach. The results of this study conclude that there are no laws and
regulations in Indonesia that specifically deal with sexual violence. The existing regulations

such as KUHP, the Law on the Elimination of Domestic Violence and etc have not been able to

specifically address sexual violence.

Keywords: Women, Sexual Violence, Laws and Regulations
