Abstract

Women are confronted by unfair treatment in the form of violence in media. The violence can be in the form of physical violence or symbolic violence. The current development of technology could provide a space for someone to be abusive towards women. Through Whatsapp conversation media, women are likely to get symbolic violence without them realizing it. The violence may be in the form of harsh words camouflaged in a joke or emotional outburst. The research used qualitative research with a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach. The data collection was done by interviewing several women in the youth educator group. The result of this interview shows that the women were often experience symbolic violence from their partner, such as disrespectful words or vulgarity. This type of violence or sexual harassment is common because the perpetrator is the closest person of the victim, either husband or lover. Due to the lack of firm action from these victims often makes the phenomenon become normalized.
