The Indonesian National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan) recorded that in 2020, the majority of reported violence against women (79%, or 6,480 cases) stemmed from the personal sphere. A total of 1,731 cases (21.02%) occurred in the community or public sphere, while only 23 cases (0.28%) were attributed to the state.
The number of cases of violence against women in the personal sphere increased by 4% in 2020 compared to the previous year. This increase is attributed to increased time spent at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with the persistent patriarchal culture that places women as primary caregivers and household managers, making them vulnerable to domestic violence (KDRT).
