I.                    Background and Justification

 

Gender-based violence (GBV) and Child Protection is a serious and critical problem in Indonesia. According to a survey by the National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan), in 2022 there were over 457.895 cases of violence against women reported in the country. There is a slight decrease from the previous year 2021, which saw 459.094 cases reported. (Indonesia National Commission Data 2023). Back to a 2017 survey by the Indonesian Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection, it reveals shocking data where 35.1% of women in Indonesia have experienced physical violence, and 31.9% have experienced psychological violence. Additionally, 21.7% of women in Indonesia experienced sexual violence, and 11.6% experienced economic violence.

Child marriage as one of Child Protection issue and another form of Gender Based Violence is a prevalent issue in the province of Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB). According to data from UNICEF, in 2017, the prevalence of child marriage in NTB was at 17.7%, which is higher than the national average of 14.1%. Data in 2019 shows that the rate of child marriage in NTB Province has declined in to 16.09 %. 16% of married woman in NTB is having their 1^st marriage before their age reach 18 years old. These statistic data have place NTB province is included in the top 5 of highest child marriage cases in Indonesia during 2019. The NTB Province Woman Empowerment and Child Protection has recorded that during 2021 there are 1,132 Child Marriage cases occurred in NTB Province.

 

Child marriage has serious implications for the health and wellbeing of young girls, including increased risk of maternal mortality, domestic violence, and decreased access to education and opportunities. The Indonesian government has implemented several initiatives to address child marriage, including policies to increase access to education and reduce poverty, but more needs to be done to combat this harmful practice in NTB.

Much work remains to be done to address many forms of GBV. Strengthening law enforcement and judicial efforts, along with improving access to education and economic opportunities, could help to reduce GBV in Aceh and NTB Province. Despite efforts to address gender-based violence in these 2 provinces, such as the establishment of a women's shelter and hotline, more needs to be done to change attitudes and behaviors that perpetuate violence against women. This includes increasing awareness and education about women's rights, providing support and services to survivors of violence, and holding perpetrators accountable for their actions. Furthermore, addressing entrenched cultural and miss understood religious belief and attitudes that normalize GBV will be critical to eradicating the problem for future generations.

 

The Empower project is aimed to:

 

Initiate and enhance multi-stakeholder collaboration and coordination to mobilize civil society, through collective action which guides local conversations among generations in order to achieve concrete, game-changing results across generations for girls and women and young boys to gain knowledge and access to information and understand policies that shape Gender and Child rights in the region.

Better equip faith communities with the skills and knowledge they need to prepare on responding effectively to the affected population’s needs on Gender and child protection issues and to ensure that these issues are addressed through various campaigning platforms within the communities.
