Abstract

Sanctions against abuse and sanctuary for beaten women were the most important factors in preventing occasional wife beating from escalating to more ongoing wife battering. Effective sanctions were applied by the community or neighbourhood rather than only national proclamation or laws, but such national attention often preceded local action. Indonesia having thousands of islands that comprises multi-ethnicity, in principle have traditions or some one who have authority (tetua adat) to solve conflicts but they do not discuss the community level sanction on domestic violence. Outside of Indonesia there are community level cultural practises that could be modified and emulated in our communities because they show the community-action models, such as neighbour helping neighbour, women alerting other women, kin intervening, and community leaders seeing domestic violence as a threat to the collective order and taking action accordingly.
