Outcome IDN_D_3.1

People living in Indonesia, especially those at risk of being left furthest behind, are empowered to fulfil their human development potential as members of a pluralistic, tolerant, inclusive, and just society, free of gender and all other forms of discrimination

Under Safe and Fair Program, the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (MOWECP) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) benefited from UN Women’s technical inputs in the development of the National Action Plan for the Prevention and Response of Trafficking in Persons 2020-2024 and the Nation Action Plan of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration, respectively. At the provincial level, with support from UN Women in collaboration with CSOs partners, the provincial government in West and Central Java, Lampung, Kepri, and Bali provinces have been supported to integrate gender-responsive and victim-centered approaches in the development and amendment of local policies/regulations/SOP on essential service provision, including referral mechanism, for survivors of VAW and trafficking, including those of women migrant workers and women with HIV. 5 women CSOs (Perkumpulan Damar Lampung, Yayasan Embun Pelangi Batam, Yayasan SAPA Bandung, Mawar Balqis Cirebon, and KPI Jatim) have been supported to update their internal SOPs of service provision and data intake forms that integrate migratory status of women and thus enable the CSOs to disaggregate VAW data based on migratory status of the survivors. These CSOs have also been supported by UN Women, so psychosocial services for women victims of VAW and trafficking, including women migrant workers, remain open during pandemic.Through partnership with Kalyanamitra six village-level task forces in three target districts (Cirebon, Tulungagung and Lampung Timur) were established to support the village government with migration-related data collection, information sharing and campaign activities on safe and fair migration. Each task force consists of 10 (more than 50% female) representatives of village apparatus, youth groups, women’s organizations and returnee women migrant workers. The task forces will also facilitate local referrals for women migrant workers who have experienced violence and/or have been subject to trafficking by coordinating with LTSA/Migrant Resource Centers (MRC), which were newly established by ILO under SAF Program in partnership with the Ministry of Manpower. Under UBRAF, IPPI, a Women Living with HIV organisation, has been strengthened as Intermediary Organization to Respond to Violence Against Women Living with HIV. IPPI has been able to update its internal SOP, which will guide complaint receiving officers to carry out their duties. DELILA (Dengar, Lindungi, Laporkan), an online database and reporting system, was successfully developed and launched during the 16 Days Campaign. UN Women also managed to strengthen VAW Service Providers and Referral Mechanism in the Intersection of HIV – VAW Response to End Stigma and Discrimination for WLHIV. During the reporting period, a guideline and Joint SOPs on handling WLHIV subjected to VAW were developed and disseminated in 10 provinces. The documents contain the principles, norms, and human rights standards of WLHIV subjected to VAW. In Bali Province, the SOP has been ratified by the head of UPTD PPA. Meanwhile, in Central Java and West Java, the SOPs are in the process of editing and finalizing by the UPTD PPA. The adoption of internal Guidelines and SOPs was also carried out by UPTD PPA and WCC / OBH in other areas such as in North Maluku Province, NTT Province, and Lampung Province. DAMAR Foundation Lampung, SWAPAR Manado, HAPSARI, and P2TP2A NTT Province have improved their case handling form by including the rights of WLHIV. These service providers and other NGOs, such as LBH APIK Bali, LRC-KJHAM Semarang, SAPA Foundation Bandung Institute, and LBH APIK Jakarta, have now updated their case management forms that include specific dataset for WLHIV. UN Women also implemented male Involvement strategy to Ending VAW in HIV Response. A draft of strategic document and tool kit activities for male involvement to end VAW in HIV response was developed. 16 content campaign materials were published by the Aliansi Laki-laki Baru and Rumah Cemara through their social media platforms Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. In collaboration with Aliansi Laki-laki Baru and Rumah Cemara, UN Women also arranged social media campaign on male involvement to ending the VAW in HIV response to commemorate the 16 days activism, started from 1 – 10 December 2021. More than 250 people have been participated and engaged in the series of activities, including film screening, public discussion, and IG live.

According to the National Survey on VAW in 2024 (SPHPN, 2024), approximately 1 in 4 women in Indonesia reported experiencing physical and/or sexual violence in their lifetime. This rate is lower than the global average in 2023, which indicated that 1 in 3 women worldwide had faced such violence. The survey revealed a decline in domestic violence cases, with a 2.5% reduction compared to 2021. This indicates progress towards achieving the targets set in Indonesia's National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2020-2024. Higher instances of violence were reported among women residing in urban areas, those with at least a high school education, and employed women. There was a noted decrease in online gender-based violence cases in 2024. However, younger women, particularly those aged 15-24, remain more susceptible to such incidents. The practice of FGM/C among women aged 15-49 showed a decline compared to 2021, reflecting the effectiveness of ongoing prevention efforts. The findings from SPHPN 2024 indicate a positive trend in reducing violence against women in Indonesia, aligning with national development goals. Despite these advancements, the data underscores the need for continued efforts, particularly in addressing urban, educated, and working women's vulnerabilities, as well as combating online gender-based violence among younger demographics.

The outcome is on track, and some progress has been achieved during this reporting period. The number of cases reported by the National Commission on Violence Against Women (NCVAW) in 2023 increased to 4371 from 4322 cases in 2022. This may indicate increased awareness of women and girls victims of GBV to seek help and report their cases, resulting from better access to coordinated quality services. During the reporting period, through UN Women's support, government and non-government organizations are able to enhance coordinated quality service provision for women and girls victims of VAW and trafficking. At the National level, the Ministry of Health is able to design measures of HIV/AIDS prevention and response that are gender-responsive after receiving technical support from UN Women to draft a bridging document of the HIV National Action Plan 2024 – 2026. This NAP contains recommendations to assess policies, programs, and services through a gender lens, to mainstream gender into program design and implementation, and to implement human rights principles. In addition, the knowledge and capacity of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Komnas Perempuan, Health Service Providers, and non-government organizations at the national and local levels have increased through various technical support provided by UN Women such as training, workshops, seminars, consultation meetings and awareness raising activities. Komnas Perempuan reported that their capacity to respond and handle in-coming VAW complaints is now better and more timely after enhancing their data system infrastructures and tools and increasing the number of their complaint officers (UPR) staff. It has also increased its capacity to improve the production of data on VAW, including femicide, VAW migrant workers, and those living with HIV. Regarding data on WLHIV who have experienced violence since 2023, Komnas Perempuan received the report from IPPI, the national WLHIV network, which UN Women also supported to produce this report from 10 provinces. The lessons learned from this initiative to document cases of violence against WLHIV and developing the DELILA reporting system at IPPI also indirectly enhance the use of enabling technology for women living with HIV, especially at IPPI as a women's organization and Complaint Receiving Officers in 10 provinces as well as the WLHIV subjected to violence have access to reporting their cases. IPPI is currently available in 28 provinces; there's potential to scale the documentation beyond 10 provinces to obtain more data regarding WLHIV subjected to violence. Apart from that, with the formation of Puan Lingkar HIV, there is potential to expand the capacity of more women's organizations in the HIV circle to be able to document cases of violence against women so that reports related to HIV issues can be enrich and contribute to VAW national data, especially at the National Commission on Violence Against Women and Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection (MoWECP).

In 2025, Indonesia successfully advanced the empowerment and protection of women by transitioning from fragmented anti-violence initiatives to a cohesive, institutionalized national response system. This structural maturity has correlated with a statistically significant decline in the prevalence of violence against women, fulfilling key aspects of the human development potential indicator. The 2024 National Women's Life Experience Survey (SPHPN) verified a reduction in the lifetime prevalence of physical and/or sexual violence to 24.1 per cent (down from 26.1 per cent in 2021) and a decrease in past-12-month Intimate Partner Violence to 5.7 per cent. This progress signifies that the state’s interventions are yielding measurable improvements in safety, although the persistent "reporting gap"—where only 11.3 per cent of incidents are formally reported—remains a critical area for future engagement. At the national planning level, the government formally embedded the Elimination of Violence Against Women (EVAW) into the state’s core development agenda. Bappenas institutionalized these efforts within the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2025–2029, designating "Prevention of Violence against Women" as a Priority Project to secure long-term resource allocation. Complementing this, the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (KPPPA) pivoted from earlier administrative challenges to prioritize the National Strategy for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Children (Stranas PKTPA). Validated by over 150 stakeholders, this strategy is set to integrate with child protection policies in 2026, ensuring a unified policy framework that replaces previous ad-hoc measures. To eliminate sectoral isolation, the Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Culture (Kemenko PMK) asserted its strategic role as the "coordinating umbrella" for EVAW policies. By establishing a robust oversight mechanism through Presidential Instruction, Kemenko PMK now ensures synergy across ministries and regional governments. Simultaneously, the National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan) strengthened the "Prevention" pillar of its 2025–2029 National Action Plan by integrating global evidence-based frameworks (MPPP and RESPECT). This shift transformed their approach from general advocacy to a measurable roadmap, while at the subnational level, the Jakarta Provincial Government strengthened its legal framework by revising the Regional Regulation on Protection of Women, formally integrating comprehensive prevention measures into local legislation. The service ecosystem demonstrated high efficacy for survivors who accessed formal mechanisms, validating the quality of the state’s response. SPHPN 2024 data indicates that 86% of survivors accessing institutions (such as health services and police) were satisfied with the assistance received. This is corroborated by Komnas Perempuan’s referral system, where 76.07 per cent of referred victims expressed satisfaction. The system also proved capable of facilitating diverse resolution pathways tailored to victim needs: among cases handled by partner organizations, 36 per cent secured criminal legal resolutions while 34 per cent accessed non-legal remedies such as mediation and counseling. This data reflects a functional, multi-pathway support system that actively reduces barriers to justice and recovery. Applying LNOB principles, the outcome analysis utilized disaggregated data to identify and support those furthest behind, moving beyond aggregate statistics. The analysis isolated acute vulnerabilities among married girls under 18 (who face a violence rate of 26.9 per cent) and identified economic instability as a primary violence trigger in 26.89 per cent of cases. Furthermore, the programme successfully reached marginalized groups facing intersecting discrimination; notably, 66 women living with HIV (WLHIV) survivors were successfully linked to essential health, legal, and economic services. This granular evidence has mandated a strategic shift for 2026 towards integrating violence prevention with Child Marriage reduction and Family Economic Empowerment initiatives, rather than relying solely on legal socialization. UN Women significantly contributed to these outcomes by providing high-level technical expertise and acting as a convener for cross-sectoral dialogue. The agency facilitated the critical consultations on ASEAN Regional Action Plan on EVAW that built consensus for the Stranas PKTPA and the integration of EVAW into the RPJMN 2025–2029. Additionally, UN Women introduced global best practices—including the MPPP and RESPECT frameworks—to Komnas Perempuan and the Jakarta Provincial Government, directly shaping their strategic planning and legislative drafting. By supporting the in-depth analysis and validation of the SPHPN 2024, UN Women ensured that national policy decisions are grounded in rigorous, gender-disaggregated evidence.

Policies and regulations that promote a victim-centered approach to ensure coordinated quality services continue to be advocated at the National and sub-national level to ensure that women victims of violence have equal and better access to services. There has been an increased cases documented by Komnas Perempuan in 2021. It recorded 338.506 cases in 2021, 50% increase of the previous year (2020) with 226.062 cases. This is due to broader access for women to report their cases, particularly through the use of technology. There is no data yet on VAW prevalence in 2022, the prevalence data uses the last survey by MOWECP in 2021, mentioning that 1 out of 4 women aged 15-64 years have experienced physical and/or sexual violence perpetrated by a partner or non-partner during their lifetime. This figure is lower than 2016 ( 1 out of 3). UN Women, partnering with women machineries, such as Komnas Perempuan and women CSOs, conducted a series of activities, including public dialog, consultation meetings, FGDs and training to discuss the development, amendment and update of policy/regulation/SOPs of service provision for women victims of VAW, including women migrant workers and women living with HIV. During the reporting period, UN Women supported women CSOs (Women Crisis Centers) to provide hotline and psychosocial support to women victims of VAW and trafficking. With Indonesian Association of Women Living with HIV (IPPI), for example, UN Women has been strengthening IPPI’s role as intermediary organization and its online reporting system (DELILA), so women with HIV/AIDS and key population who are victims of VAW and discrimination have greater access to services that ensure their safety and rights. UN Women has also been supporting Komnas Perempuan to enhance its capacity to collect and analyze VAW administrative data by providing equipment, tools, software for data collection as well as adding more human resources to strengthen its reporting and referral unit (unit) in handling cases.
