“…This research focuses on the importance of The Bill of Elimination of Sexual Violence for Indonesian women. This research is different from Duramy (2014) which examines sexual violence in Haiti but does not provide a solution from policymakers to deal with this gender-based sexual violence. Also, research from Jilly Ryan et al, (2018) also describes various laws in South Africa to deal with gender-based violence, but the scope is only in the family.…”

This paper aims to find out to understand the importance of the bill in improving the quality of life of Indonesian women, as well as the vision, mission, and direction of President Joko Widodo in 2019-2024. This research was conducted by using the juridical empirical method, by looking at problems in the community, then looks for the legal basis and expert opinion, and is processed using the triangulation method. The results showed that increasing cases regarding various types of violence against women in various places cause the government needs to make a regulation needed to eliminate sexual violence through the bill. Hence, the Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence is urgently needed in Indonesia. The findings also noted that previous regulations have not sufficiently regulated the form of protection for women against sexual violence. The main conclusion of the study is that the bill is a form of the government's responsibility to ensure the fulfillment of these rights: the right to handle, right to protection, and right to recovery.

Women's Judicial Representation in Haiti: Unintended Gains of State-Building Efforts

Although women's representation in Haiti is generally very low, the number of women judges has increased since the demise of authoritarianism and violent conflict in the 1990s. This case study explores why. I find that “gender-neutral” judicial reforms aimed at strengthening the judiciary have done more for women's judicial representation than explicitly gender-targeted policies, which still lack implementation. Donor-supported reforms have introduced more merit-based and transparent appointment procedures for magistrates (judges and public prosecutors) based on competitive examinations. This has helped women circumvent the largely male power networks that previously excluded them from the judiciary. The judiciary remains understudied in the scholarship on women's access to decision-making in fragile and conflict-affected societies; this article contributes to this emerging literature.
