BUILDING SOCIAL RESILIENCE THROUGH LEGAL LITERACY AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE REPORTING TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
The rising incidence of sexual violence against women and children, particularly within informal, non-marital relationships such as cohabitation, poses a serious social and legal challenge. These relationships often lack legal recognition, resulting in limited social oversight, inadequate protection mechanisms, and increased vulnerability for those involved. Cultural and normative tensions between traditional Indonesian values and modern lifestyles further exacerbate these risks, especially in urban environments. In response, this project integrates two complementary strategies: (1) a criminological outreach as a community-based legal literacy initiative, and (2) the development of a sexual violence reporting application, designed to facilitate rapid, secure, and accessible victim reporting. The counselling sessions are delivered collaboratively with community leaders, academics, and volunteers to foster awareness of legal rights, gender-based violence, and the dangers of norm-deviant practices like cohabitation. The application, specifically developed for residents and management of Gateway Apartment in Pesanggrahan, enables direct communication with support agencies and legal authorities. Together, these interventions aim to build social resilience, promote cultural alignment with protective norms, and establish a responsive technological infrastructure for early reporting and prevention. Grounded in a participatory and data-driven methodology, this program provides a scalable model for reducing sexual violence by combining education, legal empowerment, and digital innovation.
