PENOLAKAN TERHADAP PELECEHAN SEKSUAL PADA WANITA DI RUANG PUBLIK (KHUSUSNYA PADA DAERAH SURABAYA DAN SEKITARNYA)

AbtsractThis research uses women in East Java and surrounding areas as evidence of the frequent formation of harassment problems against women. Written using a feminist criminology perspective, this research uses a qualitative approach with a participatory observation method that allows observers to feel what the research and research subjects feel and understand firsthand the phenomena that occur in them. Sexual violence against women is not the same as other criminal acts. Sexual violence has a wide and varied dimension of action. The incidence of sexual violence against women in public spaces reported and recorded at Komnas Perempuan is not factual. The fact that the number of sexual violence in the public sphere is greater than the reported sexual violence. Sexual violence against women is a symbolic violence that wants to show the dominance and power of men over women. Women do not have autonomy over their bodies. Women's bodies no longer belong to women, but belong to men. The female body is defined and constructed by the male mind. With social construction, women become other than themselves. Early education is needed to carry out social deconstruction by placing equal relations between men. To protect women, it is necessary to reform the law.Keywords: public area; sexual harassment womanAbstrakRiset ini menjadikan wanita pada wilayah Jawa Timur serta sekitarnya selaku pembuktian kerap terbentuknya permasalahan pelecehan pada wanita. Ditulis dengan memakai perspektif kriminologi feminis, riset ini memakai pendekatan kualitatif dengan tata cara observasi partisipatoris yang membolehkan pengamat turut merasakan apa yang dirasakan oleh subjek riset dan penelitian dan memahami langsung fenomena yang terjadi di dalamnya. Kekerasan seksual terhadap perempuan tidaklah sama dengan perbuatan pidana lainnya. Kekerasan seksual memilki dimensi perbuatan yang luas dan beragam. Angka kejadian kekerasan seksual terhadap perempuan di ruang publik yang dilaporkan dan tercatat di Komnas Perempuan adalah angka tidak bersifat faktual. Fakta angka kekerasan seksual di ruang publik lebih besar daripada kekerasan seksual yang terlaporkan. Kekerasan seksual terhadap perempuan merupakan kekerasan simbolik yang ingin menunjukkan dominasi dan kuasa laki-laki terhadap perempuan. Perempuan tidak memiliki otonomi terhadap tubuhnya. Tubuh perempuan bukan lagi milik perempuan, namun milik laki-laki. Tubuh perempuan didefinisikan dan dikonstruksikan oleh pemikiran laki-laki. Dengan konstruksi sosial, perempuan menjadi liyan dari dirinya sendiri. Diperlukan edukasi sejak dini, untuk melakukan dekonstruksi sosial dengan menempatkan relasi yang setara antara laki-laki. Untuk melindungi perempuan, maka diperlukan pembaharuan hukum.

11. Gender and feminist criminology

This chapter focuses on criminological studies of gender, particularly women’s experiences as offenders and victims, and the extent to which women’s offending and victimisation are interlinked. It begins with an overview of how gender features in criminological studies then considers the origins and principles of feminist criminology, which is a strand of criminology that has heavily influenced criminological studies of gender and crime. The chapter also explores the main theoretical traditions within feminist criminology and the philosophical orientations that influence feminist research. This exploration includes the criticisms levelled against feminist criminology. Finally, the chapter examines how more recent strands of feminist thought have tried to respond to these criticisms.
