Abstract

Sexual violence is against the universal humanitarian values and constitution, which guarantees its citizens’ protection from all forms of violence. Normatively, sexual violence is also prohibited by any religion, especially with the aim of Islam, namely to create benefit, which is elaborated in maqashid al sharia. Sexual violence is a bad phenomenon that occurs to women and children used as objects of castration and abuse of their rights. Empirical facts show the increasing number of sexual violence in various forms is increasing, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, while victims are still having difficulty getting access to justice, truth, and recovery, which are the responsibility of the State. The Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence (PK-S Bill) offers reforms to provisions regarding sexual violence that regulate victims’ rights. However, the discussion of the P-KS Bill is still controversial, so that it cannot be used as a legal umbrella against acts of sexual violence. This paper describes the urgency of the P-KS Bill, which accommodates the interests of victims and tries to uncover the controversy, through a normative research and a maslahat approach by collecting literature and materials from the media and tracing the fatwas of the Congress of Indonesian Women.
