“…In addition to describing the characteristics and implications of sexual violence on children's wellbeing, the findings of this study also demonstrate the negative treatment received by child victims of sexual violence during their recovery process in the social environment. Logie et al (2023) also state that the negative treatment of child victims of sexual abuse during their recovery process positions the children as victims again and highlights the inconsistent implementation of child protection laws in accommodating the interests and wellbeing of child victims of sexual abuse during their recovery. This context can be seen and reflected through three important findings in this study.…”

physical harm, profoundly affecting the psychological well-being and future quality of life of the victims. Thirdly, a notable proportion of these young victims face negative experiences during their recovery, a situation stemming from both societal indifference and the inadequate application of child protection laws. This shortfall in law enforcement fails to sufficiently address and safeguard the rights and well-being of child victims of sexual abuse during their critical period of recovery.

This journal article looks at the experiences of refugee and asylum-seeking women and girls through the lens of social theories. The article presents three different theories: refugee theory, gender theory and social work theory. Refugee theory looks at the flight and settlement patterns of refugees and distinguishes between anticipatory refugees, who leave the region before the crisis escalates, and acute refugees, who flee after the situation has deteriorated. It also classifies refugees into three groups based on their attitudes towards their home country: majority-identified, event-alienated or self-alienated. The article then briefly outlines the four key areas of refugee integration in their host countries: Marks and Means, Social Connections, Facilitators and Foundations. The importance of integration and the institutional environment to the settlement and adjustment process is also highlighted. In addition, the article explores the application of gender theory to understand the experiences of refugee women and girls and the discrimination they face. In conclusion, the article highlights the importance for social workers to understand and apply these theories to improve the wellbeing of refugee and asylum-seeking women and girls.

This is primarily due to the absence of derivative regulations governing the prevention, handling, and restoration of the rights of trafficking victims (Bentivegna & Patalay, 2022;Logie et al, 2023).…”

This research is motivated by the increase in sexual violence numbers, both against women and other vulnerable groups. Sexual violence requires legislative intervention which in its process faces obstacles because of the appearance of controversy. The controversy affects the slow process of approval of the law and its derivative rules. Using the concept of strategic intelligence analysis, this research was carried out. Qualitative approach with descriptive type, research using document study and interviews as data collection techniques. Data suggests that reviewed strategic intelligence analysis fails due to factors of lack of knowledge about sexual violence and its implications, besides the concept of strategic intelligence analysis for mapping conflict and contesting actors has not been used in the policy formulation process. These weaknesses affect the extent to which the state budget is being used to allocate prolonged regulatory formulation, in addition to affecting the social and psychological costs to the victims and existing support systems, including law enforcement and victim protection. Recommendations to all stakeholders, first of all relating to the intelligence function of information sharing, enhancing intelligence capacity especially at the knowledge level, as well as encouraging enhanced cooperation and collaboration among actors to jointly strive for Indonesia to be free from sexual violence.
