Main Article Content
Abstract
Incidents of sexual harassment, including catcalling, are a form of violence against women which is a special problem that often occurs around us. Moreover, what happened on campus was that the victims were of course female students on campus. This research aims to analyze the relevance of Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Criminal Acts of Sexual Violence in efforts to protect the rights of women who are victims of sexual harassment, especially catcalling, using a feminist legal theory perspective. This research uses a qualitative approach with the main data source being interviews with Unhasy campus students who experienced catcalling. Apart from that, data was also obtained through observation and documentation studies. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive and interpretation methods. Referring to the research results, show that Law Number 12 of 2022 has relevance in efforts to protect the rights of women who are victims of sexual harassment, including catcalling. However, the feminist legal theory perspective criticizes the existence of patriarchal bias which can hinder justice and gender equality in legal protection. This highlights the importance of empowering women and eliminating discrimination in efforts to achieve justice and protect women's rights.
