A. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A
UNDP survey into violence against women in Papua, Indonesia reveals 38%
of ever-partnered women have experienced at least one of four types of
violence in their lifetime. 16% experienced one of these types of
violence in the year preceding the survey. The 2004 Law on the
Elimination of Violence in Households (Domestic Violence Law) states all
citizens are entitled to a sense of security and free from violence,
including physical, sexual violence, negligence, threats, or
psychological misery. While Indonesia
has criminalized violence against women, the effective implementation of
legal remedies is hindered by cultural norms that portray violence of
this nature as a private matter. At the village level, women tend to
report abuse to informal leaders and/or their village
administrations. Most cases are solved through informal means under
close custody of village officials who can disregard protective
legislation.
