Abstract


Protection of women as human beings with dignity is a fundamental human right. This protection is rooted in the principle of gender equality and the recognition of the dignity and worth of women as individuals equal to men. This protection includes the right to live free from violence, discrimination, and exploitation, as well as the right to participate fully in all aspects of life. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the types and forms of violence experienced by women in Demak Regency. To identify and analyze the implementation of legal protection for women victims of violence in Demak Regency. To identify and analyze the obstacles faced and strategic solutions in implementing legal protection for women victims of violence in Demak Regency. The approach used by the researcher is a sociological-juridical approach. This research is descriptive. The sources and types of data in this study are primary data obtained through interviews and secondary data obtained from literature studies. The data is analyzed qualitatively using legal protection theory, law enforcement theory, and victimology theory. Based on the results of the study, the types of violence experienced by women in Demak Regency are diverse, including physical, psychological, sexual, and economic violence. Psychological and economic violence tends to be the most common type. The contributing factors include patriarchal culture, gender inequality, low legal understanding, and social stigma against victims. The forms of violence experienced by women in Demak Regency include domestic violence, sexual violence, psychological violence, and economic violence. Domestic violence still dominates, with physical and psychological violence being interrelated. The main factors causing this violence are patriarchal culture, gender inequality, weak legal understanding, and social stigma against victims. The implementation of legal protection for female victims of violence in Demak Regency already exists, but is not yet evenly distributed and optimal. Victim assistance needs to be strengthened, both legally, psychologically, and socio-economically. Legal education for the community and training of law enforcement officers must be improved to increase the effectiveness of implementation. Strengthening coordination between agencies and increasing the capacity of service institutions needs to be further enhanced. The effective implementation of legal protection for female victims of violence can reduce the impact of violence against women and increase a sense of security in the community. Obstacles and Strategic Solutions in the Implementation of Legal Protection for Female Victims of Violence in Demak Regency encompasses socio-cultural aspects, legal procedures, and limited facilities/resources. The strategic solutions implemented are integrated, involving educational efforts, regulatory strengthening, and facility improvements. Implementation of these strategies is expected to increase victims' access to legal protection, reduce levels of violence, and strengthen women's empowerment in Demak Regency.
