Legal Protection for Victims of Sexual Violence Who Undergo Abortion from The Perspective of Health Law and Human Rights (Comparison of National and International Law)
Abstract
This research aims to analyze the legal protection for victims of sexual violence who undergo abortion from the perspectives of health law and human rights, while comparing Indonesian national law with international legal standards. This study employs normative legal research with a comparative legal approach. The findings indicate that although Indonesian regulations (Health Law and Sexual Violence Crimes Law/UU TPKS) provide legal avenues for safe abortion for rape victims, implementation remains hindered by social stigma, bureaucratic hurdles, and conflicting moral norms. A comparison with international instruments, such as the CEDAW Convention and UN General Comments, reveals a shift from mere health protection toward the fulfillment of reproductive rights as fundamental human rights. The study concludes that there is an urgent need for regulatory harmonization that is more flexible and trauma-sensitive to ensure access to safe abortion without the threat of criminalization.
