Instead of bringing happiness, romantic relationships often lead to disaster for women.
This is reflected in data from the Indonesian National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan), which shows that violence against women is most often perpetrated by former boyfriends, husbands, or boyfriends.
Throughout 2021, there were 802 cases of gender-based violence (GBV) against women committed by former boyfriends. This group was the most dominant perpetrator, accounting for 31.7% of the 2,527 similar cases reported to Komnas Perempuan.
The next most frequent perpetrators were husbands with 771 cases, followed by boyfriends with 483 cases.
This phenomenon demonstrates how many women are in unsafe situations, even when they are with those closest to them.
Therefore, Komnas Perempuan emphasizes the importance of passing the Bill on Sexual Violence Crimes (RUU TPKS) to create a safety net for women.
