Abstract

‘Breaking the silence’ is necessarily part of women being able to obtain their rights and resolve issues of violence in their lives. The Indonesian government’s passage of the Domestic Violence Act in 2004 increased people’s awareness of the issue of domestic violence (including women’s awareness of domestic violence. The presence of such legislation correlates with the State’s serious intention to deal with this matter; nevertheless, the law ‘on the books’ (i.e., present in theory) and the law ‘on the ground’ (i.e., present in fact) differ markedly. This paper will explore the extent to which domestic violence is regulated and the extent to which such regulation is implemented. While the law aims to protect women (and children), in reality the ability of the women victims to assert their rights vary for each woman. This is largely attributable to the varied understandings of the legal officers encountered and their consequent responses.
