Abstract

Sexual violence is a serious human rights violation and is an urgent issue in Indonesia, as reflected in the increasing number of cases. Although the state has a constitutional obligation under the 1945 Constitution to protect its citizens and has passed progressive legal umbrellas such as Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning the Crime of Sexual Violence (TPKS Law), its implementation on the ground still faces various obstacles. The gap between strong regulations and law enforcement practices at the Prosecutor's level, such as what happens in the jurisdiction of the Meranti Islands District Attorney's Office, shows the need for an in-depth study of the effectiveness of legal protection for victims of sexual crimes in the digital era. The formulation of the problem of how to form, mechanism, and implement legal protection for victims of sexual crimes in the jurisdiction of the Meranti Islands District Attorney's Office in the perspective of laws and regulations, social conditions of the community, and human rights principles as well as what are the structural, cultural, and institutional obstacles faced in providing legal protection to victims of sexual crimes in the jurisdiction of the Meranti Islands District Attorney's Office, and how it affects access to justice and victim recovery. This research uses sociological legal research methods, the main nature of which is based on data and facts found in the field (reality). This data is collected through methods such as interviews, surveys, observations, or case studies, not only from the literature study of laws and regulations. The results of the research and discussion show that the legal protection of victims of sexual crimes in the jurisdiction of the Meranti Islands District Attorney's Office has been normatively regulated in various national laws and regulations such as the Child Protection Law, the Domestic Violence Law, the Law on the Protection of Witnesses and Victims, as well as international human rights principles, but its implementation is still constrained by structural, cultural, and institutional factors. Structural constraints include limited infrastructure and access to services due to the geographical conditions of the archipelago, while cultural constraints are characterized by strong negative stigma and the dominance of patriarchal values that make victims reluctant to report or forced to retract reports. On the institutional side, the low capacity of law enforcement officials, the lack of coordination between institutions, and the lack of supporting facilities cause the legal process and victim recovery to be suboptimal. As a result, many victims do not have adequate access to justice and rehabilitation, so holistic reforms are needed to ensure the full and sustainable fulfillment of victims' basic rights
