Presidential candidate number one, Anies Baswedan, highlighted the persistent high incidence of violence against women in Indonesia.
He discussed this issue during the fifth Presidential Election debate of 2024, themed Social Welfare, Culture, Education, Information Technology, Health, Employment, Human Resources, and Inclusion, held at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) on Sunday (February 4th, 2024).
Anies raised this issue while questioning Prabowo about solutions for women's protection. In his question, Anies presented data on violence against women.
"We witness an extraordinarily high number of cases of violence against women, 3.2 million cases in the last eight years," said the former Governor of Jakarta.
The figure cited by Anies differs from the data of the National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan).
According to the Komnas Perempuan's Annual Report, in the last ten years (2013-2022), there were approximately 2.45 million cases of gender-based violence against women.
This data is a compilation of complaints received by Komnas Perempuan, service institutions, and Religious Courts.
However, this figure may not encompass all cases that occurred, considering the potential for underreporting of violence.
