Violence Against Women

Sampai saat ini, setiap orang di seluruh dunia masih berbicara tentang pandemi Covid-19 dan kesulitan ekonomi global. Apa yang tidak atau jarang didiskusikan banyak orang adalah pandemi jahat lainnya yang membayangi yaitu: peningkatan kekerasan terhadap perempuan (KTP) atau violence against women (VAW). Di tengah kombinasi dari sistem kesehatan yang kewalahan, karantina wilayah yang diberlakukan secara ketat, ketakutan akan virus dan efek vaksinasi, dan ketidakpastian ekonomi, di saat itu pula KTP telah menemukan peluang kotor untuk berkembang bersamaan dengan meluasnya pandemi Covid-19. Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (PBB) menyebut fenomena KTP pada masa pendemi ini sebagai “the shadow pandemic” (pandemi bayangan) (United Nations, 2020). Upaya penghapusan KTP sebagai pandemi bayangan oleh PBB bersama dengan negara-negara anggota di seluruh dunia menemui masa krisisnya selama pandemi Covid-19 masih mendominasi dunia.

Globally violence against women is a systemic and widespread problem. Despite the recognition of such violence as a violation of human rights, its numerous manifestations and increasing prevalence rates are a source of concern. The mandate of the United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences has over the eighteen years of its existence examined the phenomena both conceptually and in practice, through thematic reports and country mission reports, respectively. This article focuses on 4 aspects of violence against women. (1) It provides an overview of the evolution of violence against women as a human rights issue. (2) It examines the different manifestations of violence against women. (3) It examines the interpretation by States of their obligation to exercise due diligence in responding to and preventing violence against women.

On a warm October day in 2005, I attended a state level conference on preventing violence against women in Mumbai. The speakers included state (Maharashtra) and national level administrative officials, representatives of the United Nations and the United Nations Population Funds (UNFPA), social workers and members of several NGOs. One of the speakers, a high-ranking bureaucrat in the Ministry of Family Welfare, in a fiery speech condemning all forms of violence against women, urged service providers to follow a "zero tolerance policy." In other words, no form of violence against women should be tolerated. She recommended that women be urged to resist and leave their husbands if they are being subjected to physical violence. As is customary, everyone praised her commitment to women's causes. However a few of the members of non-governmental organizations were skeptical about her approach, and though careful not to voice their objections in public, privately criticized her approach for its impracticality and lack of understanding of poor women's needs.
