VIOLENCE TO WOMAN
How can women become victims of violence?
The fact that
they are really be required
!
A woman is able to do
everything same as the
men,but there are some
differences, that can woman do and the
man not, women can give
birth and breastfeeding,
while the man can’t do that, one other
thing, a lot of people
said heaven under mothers feet
not
under father feet, and a great man there is a woman
behind him is always great, too, but why is
it always women who are victims of violence.
Indonesian social reality shows
that violence against
women is still happened in, households and the public, at all times and carried
by many people
with socio-cultural
identities are diverse. On the other hand the
reality of violence against women is not only
done on an individual basis, but
also by social
institutions, economic, political
and cultural. Violence
against women by the
international community has been seen
as part of the violation of human rights.
So there should be concrete actions
to eliminate them.
No wonder the International Women's
Day on March 8, 2009 a week ago in the annual
records of the National Commission (Komnas) Women, the
rate of violence against women increased
by 213 percent, the number of cases
compared to 54,425 the previous year.
Violence against women were 90 percent occurred in the home. The majority
of victims of domestic violence in the economy is the wife, that some 6,800
people from 46 882 cases of violence against his wife, and the majority of
victims of sexual violence are women under the age of as many as 469 people out
of 1,870 cases of community. The number of victims of violence against women in
Indonesia increased to 1421 in 2012 that in the previous year only 1381.Indonesia
is in the lowest position in Asean in terms of gender. Data from the Gender Related
Development Index (GDI) ranks Indonesia ranked 90th out of 177 countries. Compared
to some Asean countries, Indonesia ranked lower ranks are ranked Singapore 28, Malaysia
52, Thailand 61, Philippines 66 and Vietnam 87.
Platform For Action
and the Beijing Declaration
states that violence against women is any act
of gender-based violence, including
threats, coercion or deprivation of the rights of freedom, which occur
either within the household or family
(private life), and
in the society (public life
) which resulted in
misery or suffering
to women, physically, sexually
and fsikologis (United Nations Depertement of
Public Relations 1986) From this information we can conclude how
difficult women find comfort
in their lives.
