Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 06
Abstract
Most Indonesians today are still trapped in a patriarchal culture, especially when it comes to sexual harassment cases. Where it is assumed that women victims of sexual harassment (women victims) play a “main role” in inviting the perpetrators of crime, beginning with the victim's clothing, behavior, and even their sexuality is considered seductive. Not only are the perpetrators punished, but the victim is blamed or blames the perpetrators. This article employs several paradigms and reveals its discussion in viewing cases of blaming the victims in sexual harassment cases in Indonesia, such as: (1) conducting studies based on muted group theory or silent group theory; (2) the mass media plays a role as a form of public opinion on rape cases with denotative editorial meaning, which leads to the theory of gender feminism; and (3) massive behavior of blaming sexual harassment victims in order to save victims from their example, and strive for the government is urged to be serious and responsive in addressing the problem of sexual violence, as well as to build a literate society in guarding all forms of narratives against female victims in cases of sexual violence, in order to reduce victim blaming, which harms the victim both physically and mentally.
