Femicide refers to the killing of women that is associated with gender-related factors, including discrimination, domination, unequal power relations, and gender-based violence. Over time, femicide has come to be recognized as the most extreme form of violence against women. Nevertheless, the term femicide has not yet been explicitly recognized within the Indonesian criminal law system. This study aims to analyze the legal concept of femicide from both legal and gender perspectives and to examine how Indonesian law accommodates femicide within the national criminal law system.
This study employs normative legal research using both the statutory approach and the conceptual approach. The primary legal materials consist of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Indonesian Criminal Code, Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence, Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning the Crime of Sexual Violence, as well as various international legal instruments relating to the protection of women. The secondary legal materials include books, scholarly journals, reports published by international organizations, and other relevant studies concerning femicide and gender-based violence.
This study concludes that Indonesian law has implicitly accommodated femicide through the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), the Law on the Elimination of Domestic Violence (UU PKDRT), and the Law on the Crime of Sexual Violence (UU TPKS), although it has not yet recognized femicide as a distinct criminal offense. Accordingly, legal protection for women who become victims of gender-based violence has, in principle, been incorporated into the Indonesian criminal law system.
