INTRODUCTION
In Indonesia, we see the wider reach of the internet, plus the increasingly
sophisticated technology and the spread and development of information technology is
increasingly popular in the use of social media, the internet emerged because of the need
for humans to communicate with each other without the limitations of space and time that
are increasingly turbulent, fast and effective connections to deliver information or
knowledge needed by individuals wherever they are. Departing from this, it has presented
new forms of online gender-based violence.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just like
gender-based violence in the real world, the act of violence must have the intention or
intention to harass the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is
included in the category of general violence in the online realm. (KBGO) has an impact
on mental health, such as loss of confidence, stress, and insecurity. For young women
aged 20 years and above, there is a tendency to find it difficult to find or keep a job.
It is important to distinguish these forms of online violence so that the solutions
provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO occurs, the solution is not only law
enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able to change the perspective of
perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with victims. Without this intervention,
after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have a gender-biased and sexual
perspective. Based on the results of the observation of the record of violence against
women in 2020 by Komnas Perempuan, during the year 2020 women were squeezed by
the pandemic: a surge in sexual violence, cyber violence, child marriage, and limited
handling in the midst of Covid-19, with the emergence of the outbreak that hit Indonesia
had an effect on blocking every human movement that required them to stay at home, to
carry out productive activities, By not leaving the house and not crowding, besides that
the government pampers the community by presenting increasingly sophisticated
technological updates so that they are comfortable doing productive things related to
social media and technology when at home.
Meanwhile, with the increasing sophistication of technology such as those in the
Internet Governance Forum, it was explained that online gender-based violence covers a
spectrum of behaviors, including stalking, intimidation, sexual harassment, defamation,
hate speech and exploitation. KBGO can also enter the offline world, where victims or
survivors experience a combination of physical, sexual, and psychological torture, both
online and directly in the real world while offline. Online gender-based violence in the
personal sphere often occurs to the closest people which is a big threat to society,
especially today, the use of the internet for social media is increasingly rampant and rapid.
Especially during the pandemic that hit Indonesia, where many community
activities are carried out at home by working from home and school from home, it is
possible that online gender-based violence will also increase, such as in the case of
violence that occurs in the dating shutter in the LDR where it is difficult to meet each
other, has an effect on relationships that do not progress or break up due to the difficulty
of meeting many problems Fights, breakup of a couple of lovers One of those who cannot
accept this commits acts of violence online, sexual content is spread, strangled to try to
commit suicide This is what happened in the case: illustration, flower, sexual violence
revenge porn by an ex-boyfriend who experienced verbal and physical violence to the
spread of sexual content on social media.

theories used based on available literature is carried out, especially from articles published
in various scientific journals, literature reviews serve to build concepts or theories that are
the basis for research in research. Literature review or study is an activity that is required

problem to be researched.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,
I didn't know what the use was. I said yes because I thought it would give him
pleasure, I felt alone when he was by my side, I didn't want him to leave. I never
gave permission to publish, to be disseminated in any form. But, whatever has
happened... Yes, it has happened. The damage has already occurred. For many years
almost crazy to keep everything by myself, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DARE
TO WRITE THIS, WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BUT SAD AND
SCARED AT THE SAME TIME.
I feel super paranoid and it's not normal anymore. Years of living in paranoia,
insecurities, many dreams that... may be withheld. I still have a positive side inside
of me to say it failed. Not completely. What about the person now? Normal college,
I also feel that my life is normal, everything is too heavy for me, because he also
shows no remorse, to bring this all to the law I feel is too heavy and it has been too
long. I have done everything by myself more or less in the umpteenth of this year.
For those of you who read, please stay alive, thank you for staying alive, you are
not alone, I know how difficult it is when you know that your intimate photos/videos
have been spread and my first instinct is to end everything, end life, but I realize, I
am not alone, I read all the writings below more and more motivates me to live, to
be STRONG, you are all STRONG! A virtual hug to all of you who are reading
this."
Based on the example of the above case in each case that occurs, it is important to
protect privacy in cyberspace, and it is the main key to self-security to avoid violence or
crime in cyberspace, for example, privacy is a limit on self or information about yourself
from the reach of the public eye and also does not tell anyone about ourselves who is
private so that there is no dissemination of information that is not It should be in the public
and not for consumption in the general public because it is privacy.
Regulation and Handling in the Personal Realm
The importance of online privacy protection for yourself, Protection of privacy in
cyberspace is the main key to personal security from various violence or crimes in
cyberspace. Basically, what is meant by privacy is the restriction on oneself or information
about oneself from the reach of the public eye. In the online realm, protecting privacy
means protecting personal data, especially sensitive data, from anyone whose personal
data, or also known to be able to access such information, as PII (personally identifiable
both online and offline).
There needs to be a reference to the legal basis that regulates sexual harassment on
social media is in article 27 paragraph 1 of the ITE Law "Sexual harassment in social
media such as spreading immoral content on social media has been regulated in Law No.
44 of 2008 concerning fornography. In addition, there is a need for a law that can handle
further and complex KBGO cases. Being a victim should experience stress and the need
to handle the victim until he recovers as well as be pro to the victim and follow up on the
perpetrator.
The Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence (RUU PKS) that has been designed
which will make it easier to handle violence against women, As recorded in the draft Bill
on Sexual Violence, that in addition to the prevention & handling of sexual violence, there
is also victim recovery and will follow up with the perpetrators, as stated in article 3
concerning the elimination of sexual violence in Chapter 2 of the Principles and
Objectives.
However, the bill above has not had a good response to the parties concerned until
now it has not been passed because it has experienced pros and cons that have different
perspectives on sexual violence. We know that Indonesia still adheres to a patriarchal
system that considers men to be superior, while women are inferior to the point of
experiencing hegemony in it. In fact, there is a need to be aware that online gender-based
violence is a form of violence that attacks the victim's mentality.
CONCLUSION
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just like
gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass the
victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category

Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,
I didn't know what the use was. I said yes because I thought it would give him
pleasure, I felt alone when he was by my side, I didn't want him to leave. I never
gave permission to publish, to be disseminated in any form. But, whatever has
happened... Yes, it has happened. The damage has already occurred. For many years
almost crazy to keep everything by myself, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DARE
TO WRITE THIS, WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BUT SAD AND
SCARED AT THE SAME TIME.
I feel super paranoid and it's not normal anymore. Years of living in paranoia,
insecurities, many dreams that... may be withheld. I still have a positive side inside
of me to say it failed. Not completely. What about the person now? Normal college,
I also feel that my life is normal, everything is too heavy for me, because he also
shows no remorse, to bring this all to the law I feel is too heavy and it has been too
long. I have done everything by myself more or less in the umpteenth of this year.
For those of you who read, please stay alive, thank you for staying alive, you are
not alone, I know how difficult it is when you know that your intimate photos/videos
have been spread and my first instinct is to end everything, end life, but I realize, I
am not alone, I read all the writings below more and more motivates me to live, to
be STRONG, you are all STRONG! A virtual hug to all of you who are reading
this."
Based on the example of the above case in each case that occurs, it is important to
protect privacy in cyberspace, and it is the main key to self-security to avoid violence or
crime in cyberspace, for example, privacy is a limit on self or information about yourself
from the reach of the public eye and also does not tell anyone about ourselves who is
private so that there is no dissemination of information that is not It should be in the public
and not for consumption in the general public because it is privacy.
Regulation and Handling in the Personal Realm
The importance of online privacy protection for yourself, Protection of privacy in
cyberspace is the main key to personal security from various violence or crimes in
cyberspace. Basically, what is meant by privacy is the restriction on oneself or information
about oneself from the reach of the public eye. In the online realm, protecting privacy
means protecting personal data, especially sensitive data, from anyone whose personal
data, or also known to be able to access such information, as PII (personally identifiable
both online and offline).

further and complex KBGO cases. Being a victim should experience stress and the need
to handle the victim until he recovers as well as be pro to the victim and follow up on the
perpetrator.
The Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence (RUU PKS) that has been designed
which will make it easier to handle violence against women, As recorded in the draft Bill
on Sexual Violence, that in addition to the prevention & handling of sexual violence, there
is also victim recovery and will follow up with the perpetrators, as stated in article 3
concerning the elimination of sexual violence in Chapter 2 of the Principles and
Objectives.
However, the bill above has not had a good response to the parties concerned until
now it has not been passed because it has experienced pros and cons that have different
perspectives on sexual violence. We know that Indonesia still adheres to a patriarchal
system that considers men to be superior, while women are inferior to the point of
experiencing hegemony in it. In fact, there is a need to be aware that online gender-based
violence is a form of violence that attacks the victim's mentality.
CONCLUSION
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just like
gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass the
victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. One of the cases is from a person who claimed to

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other

victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. One of the cases is from a person who claimed to
be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex (VCS) because he
was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was not obeyed. There

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,
I didn't know what the use was. I said yes because I thought it would give him
pleasure, I felt alone when he was by my side, I didn't want him to leave. I never
gave permission to publish, to be disseminated in any form. But, whatever has
happened... Yes, it has happened. The damage has already occurred. For many years
almost crazy to keep everything by myself, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DARE
TO WRITE THIS, WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BUT SAD AND
SCARED AT THE SAME TIME.
I feel super paranoid and it's not normal anymore. Years of living in paranoia,
insecurities, many dreams that... may be withheld. I still have a positive side inside
of me to say it failed. Not completely. What about the person now? Normal college,
I also feel that my life is normal, everything is too heavy for me, because he also
shows no remorse, to bring this all to the law I feel is too heavy and it has been too
long. I have done everything by myself more or less in the umpteenth of this year.
For those of you who read, please stay alive, thank you for staying alive, you are
not alone, I know how difficult it is when you know that your intimate photos/videos
have been spread and my first instinct is to end everything, end life, but I realize, I
am not alone, I read all the writings below more and more motivates me to live, to
be STRONG, you are all STRONG! A virtual hug to all of you who are reading
this."
Based on the example of the above case in each case that occurs, it is important to
protect privacy in cyberspace, and it is the main key to self-security to avoid violence or
crime in cyberspace, for example, privacy is a limit on self or information about yourself
from the reach of the public eye and also does not tell anyone about ourselves who is
private so that there is no dissemination of information that is not It should be in the public
and not for consumption in the general public because it is privacy.
Regulation and Handling in the Personal Realm
The importance of online privacy protection for yourself, Protection of privacy in
cyberspace is the main key to personal security from various violence or crimes in
cyberspace. Basically, what is meant by privacy is the restriction on oneself or information
about oneself from the reach of the public eye. In the online realm, protecting privacy
means protecting personal data, especially sensitive data, from anyone whose personal
data, or also known to be able to access such information, as PII (personally identifiable
both online and offline).
There needs to be a reference to the legal basis that regulates sexual harassment on
social media is in article 27 paragraph 1 of the ITE Law "Sexual harassment in social
media such as spreading immoral content on social media has been regulated in Law No.
44 of 2008 concerning fornography. In addition, there is a need for a law that can handle
further and complex KBGO cases. Being a victim should experience stress and the need
to handle the victim until he recovers as well as be pro to the victim and follow up on the
perpetrator.
The Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence (RUU PKS) that has been designed
which will make it easier to handle violence against women, As recorded in the draft Bill
on Sexual Violence, that in addition to the prevention & handling of sexual violence, there
is also victim recovery and will follow up with the perpetrators, as stated in article 3
concerning the elimination of sexual violence in Chapter 2 of the Principles and
Objectives.
However, the bill above has not had a good response to the parties concerned until
now it has not been passed because it has experienced pros and cons that have different
perspectives on sexual violence. We know that Indonesia still adheres to a patriarchal
system that considers men to be superior, while women are inferior to the point of
experiencing hegemony in it. In fact, there is a need to be aware that online gender-based
violence is a form of violence that attacks the victim's mentality.
CONCLUSION
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just like
gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass the
victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. One of the cases is from a person who claimed to

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally

people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,
I didn't know what the use was. I said yes because I thought it would give him
pleasure, I felt alone when he was by my side, I didn't want him to leave. I never
gave permission to publish, to be disseminated in any form. But, whatever has
happened... Yes, it has happened. The damage has already occurred. For many years
almost crazy to keep everything by myself, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DARE
TO WRITE THIS, WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BUT SAD AND
SCARED AT THE SAME TIME.
I feel super paranoid and it's not normal anymore. Years of living in paranoia,
insecurities, many dreams that... may be withheld. I still have a positive side inside
of me to say it failed. Not completely. What about the person now? Normal college,
I also feel that my life is normal, everything is too heavy for me, because he also
shows no remorse, to bring this all to the law I feel is too heavy and it has been too
long. I have done everything by myself more or less in the umpteenth of this year.
For those of you who read, please stay alive, thank you for staying alive, you are
not alone, I know how difficult it is when you know that your intimate photos/videos
have been spread and my first instinct is to end everything, end life, but I realize, I
am not alone, I read all the writings below more and more motivates me to live, to
be STRONG, you are all STRONG! A virtual hug to all of you who are reading
this."
Based on the example of the above case in each case that occurs, it is important to
protect privacy in cyberspace, and it is the main key to self-security to avoid violence or
crime in cyberspace, for example, privacy is a limit on self or information about yourself
from the reach of the public eye and also does not tell anyone about ourselves who is
private so that there is no dissemination of information that is not It should be in the public
and not for consumption in the general public because it is privacy.
Regulation and Handling in the Personal Realm
The importance of online privacy protection for yourself, Protection of privacy in
cyberspace is the main key to personal security from various violence or crimes in
cyberspace. Basically, what is meant by privacy is the restriction on oneself or information
about oneself from the reach of the public eye. In the online realm, protecting privacy
means protecting personal data, especially sensitive data, from anyone whose personal
data, or also known to be able to access such information, as PII (personally identifiable
both online and offline).
There needs to be a reference to the legal basis that regulates sexual harassment on
social media is in article 27 paragraph 1 of the ITE Law "Sexual harassment in social
media such as spreading immoral content on social media has been regulated in Law No.
44 of 2008 concerning fornography. In addition, there is a need for a law that can handle
further and complex KBGO cases. Being a victim should experience stress and the need
to handle the victim until he recovers as well as be pro to the victim and follow up on the
perpetrator.
The Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence (RUU PKS) that has been designed
which will make it easier to handle violence against women, As recorded in the draft Bill
on Sexual Violence, that in addition to the prevention & handling of sexual violence, there
is also victim recovery and will follow up with the perpetrators, as stated in article 3
concerning the elimination of sexual violence in Chapter 2 of the Principles and
Objectives.
However, the bill above has not had a good response to the parties concerned until
now it has not been passed because it has experienced pros and cons that have different
perspectives on sexual violence. We know that Indonesia still adheres to a patriarchal
system that considers men to be superior, while women are inferior to the point of
experiencing hegemony in it. In fact, there is a need to be aware that online gender-based
violence is a form of violence that attacks the victim's mentality.
CONCLUSION
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just like
gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass the
victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. One of the cases is from a person who claimed to
be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex (VCS) because he
was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was not obeyed. There

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,
I didn't know what the use was. I said yes because I thought it would give him
pleasure, I felt alone when he was by my side, I didn't want him to leave. I never
gave permission to publish, to be disseminated in any form. But, whatever has
happened... Yes, it has happened. The damage has already occurred. For many years
almost crazy to keep everything by myself, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DARE
TO WRITE THIS, WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BUT SAD AND
SCARED AT THE SAME TIME.
I feel super paranoid and it's not normal anymore. Years of living in paranoia,
insecurities, many dreams that... may be withheld. I still have a positive side inside
of me to say it failed. Not completely. What about the person now? Normal college,
I also feel that my life is normal, everything is too heavy for me, because he also
shows no remorse, to bring this all to the law I feel is too heavy and it has been too
long. I have done everything by myself more or less in the umpteenth of this year.
For those of you who read, please stay alive, thank you for staying alive, you are
not alone, I know how difficult it is when you know that your intimate photos/videos
have been spread and my first instinct is to end everything, end life, but I realize, I
am not alone, I read all the writings below more and more motivates me to live, to
be STRONG, you are all STRONG! A virtual hug to all of you who are reading
this."
Based on the example of the above case in each case that occurs, it is important to
protect privacy in cyberspace, and it is the main key to self-security to avoid violence or
crime in cyberspace, for example, privacy is a limit on self or information about yourself
from the reach of the public eye and also does not tell anyone about ourselves who is
private so that there is no dissemination of information that is not It should be in the public
and not for consumption in the general public because it is privacy.
Regulation and Handling in the Personal Realm
The importance of online privacy protection for yourself, Protection of privacy in
cyberspace is the main key to personal security from various violence or crimes in
cyberspace. Basically, what is meant by privacy is the restriction on oneself or information
about oneself from the reach of the public eye. In the online realm, protecting privacy
means protecting personal data, especially sensitive data, from anyone whose personal
data, or also known to be able to access such information, as PII (personally identifiable
both online and offline).

to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,
I didn't know what the use was. I said yes because I thought it would give him

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied

certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,
I didn't know what the use was. I said yes because I thought it would give him
pleasure, I felt alone when he was by my side, I didn't want him to leave. I never
gave permission to publish, to be disseminated in any form. But, whatever has
happened... Yes, it has happened. The damage has already occurred. For many years
almost crazy to keep everything by myself, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DARE
TO WRITE THIS, WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BUT SAD AND
SCARED AT THE SAME TIME.
I feel super paranoid and it's not normal anymore. Years of living in paranoia,
insecurities, many dreams that... may be withheld. I still have a positive side inside
of me to say it failed. Not completely. What about the person now? Normal college,
I also feel that my life is normal, everything is too heavy for me, because he also
shows no remorse, to bring this all to the law I feel is too heavy and it has been too
long. I have done everything by myself more or less in the umpteenth of this year.
For those of you who read, please stay alive, thank you for staying alive, you are
not alone, I know how difficult it is when you know that your intimate photos/videos
have been spread and my first instinct is to end everything, end life, but I realize, I
am not alone, I read all the writings below more and more motivates me to live, to
be STRONG, you are all STRONG! A virtual hug to all of you who are reading
this."
Based on the example of the above case in each case that occurs, it is important to
protect privacy in cyberspace, and it is the main key to self-security to avoid violence or
crime in cyberspace, for example, privacy is a limit on self or information about yourself
from the reach of the public eye and also does not tell anyone about ourselves who is
private so that there is no dissemination of information that is not It should be in the public
and not for consumption in the general public because it is privacy.
Regulation and Handling in the Personal Realm
The importance of online privacy protection for yourself, Protection of privacy in
cyberspace is the main key to personal security from various violence or crimes in
cyberspace. Basically, what is meant by privacy is the restriction on oneself or information
about oneself from the reach of the public eye. In the online realm, protecting privacy
means protecting personal data, especially sensitive data, from anyone whose personal
data, or also known to be able to access such information, as PII (personally identifiable
both online and offline).
There needs to be a reference to the legal basis that regulates sexual harassment on
social media is in article 27 paragraph 1 of the ITE Law "Sexual harassment in social
media such as spreading immoral content on social media has been regulated in Law No.
44 of 2008 concerning fornography. In addition, there is a need for a law that can handle
further and complex KBGO cases. Being a victim should experience stress and the need
to handle the victim until he recovers as well as be pro to the victim and follow up on the
perpetrator.
The Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence (RUU PKS) that has been designed
which will make it easier to handle violence against women, As recorded in the draft Bill
on Sexual Violence, that in addition to the prevention & handling of sexual violence, there
is also victim recovery and will follow up with the perpetrators, as stated in article 3
concerning the elimination of sexual violence in Chapter 2 of the Principles and
Objectives.
However, the bill above has not had a good response to the parties concerned until
now it has not been passed because it has experienced pros and cons that have different
perspectives on sexual violence. We know that Indonesia still adheres to a patriarchal
system that considers men to be superior, while women are inferior to the point of
experiencing hegemony in it. In fact, there is a need to be aware that online gender-based
violence is a form of violence that attacks the victim's mentality.
CONCLUSION
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just like
gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass the
victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. One of the cases is from a person who claimed to

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,
I didn't know what the use was. I said yes because I thought it would give him
pleasure, I felt alone when he was by my side, I didn't want him to leave. I never
gave permission to publish, to be disseminated in any form. But, whatever has
happened... Yes, it has happened. The damage has already occurred. For many years
almost crazy to keep everything by myself, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DARE
TO WRITE THIS, WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BUT SAD AND
SCARED AT THE SAME TIME.
I feel super paranoid and it's not normal anymore. Years of living in paranoia,
insecurities, many dreams that... may be withheld. I still have a positive side inside
of me to say it failed. Not completely. What about the person now? Normal college,
I also feel that my life is normal, everything is too heavy for me, because he also
shows no remorse, to bring this all to the law I feel is too heavy and it has been too
long. I have done everything by myself more or less in the umpteenth of this year.
For those of you who read, please stay alive, thank you for staying alive, you are
not alone, I know how difficult it is when you know that your intimate photos/videos
have been spread and my first instinct is to end everything, end life, but I realize, I
am not alone, I read all the writings below more and more motivates me to live, to
be STRONG, you are all STRONG! A virtual hug to all of you who are reading

Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,
I didn't know what the use was. I said yes because I thought it would give him
pleasure, I felt alone when he was by my side, I didn't want him to leave. I never
gave permission to publish, to be disseminated in any form. But, whatever has
happened... Yes, it has happened. The damage has already occurred. For many years
almost crazy to keep everything by myself, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DARE
TO WRITE THIS, WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BUT SAD AND
SCARED AT THE SAME TIME.
I feel super paranoid and it's not normal anymore. Years of living in paranoia,
insecurities, many dreams that... may be withheld. I still have a positive side inside
of me to say it failed. Not completely. What about the person now? Normal college,
I also feel that my life is normal, everything is too heavy for me, because he also
shows no remorse, to bring this all to the law I feel is too heavy and it has been too
long. I have done everything by myself more or less in the umpteenth of this year.
For those of you who read, please stay alive, thank you for staying alive, you are
not alone, I know how difficult it is when you know that your intimate photos/videos
have been spread and my first instinct is to end everything, end life, but I realize, I
am not alone, I read all the writings below more and more motivates me to live, to
be STRONG, you are all STRONG! A virtual hug to all of you who are reading

Based on the example of the above case in each case that occurs, it is important to
protect privacy in cyberspace, and it is the main key to self-security to avoid violence or
crime in cyberspace, for example, privacy is a limit on self or information about yourself
from the reach of the public eye and also does not tell anyone about ourselves who is
private so that there is no dissemination of information that is not It should be in the public
and not for consumption in the general public because it is privacy.
Regulation and Handling in the Personal Realm
The importance of online privacy protection for yourself, Protection of privacy in
cyberspace is the main key to personal security from various violence or crimes in
cyberspace. Basically, what is meant by privacy is the restriction on oneself or information
about oneself from the reach of the public eye. In the online realm, protecting privacy
means protecting personal data, especially sensitive data, from anyone whose personal
data, or also known to be able to access such information, as PII (personally identifiable

further and complex KBGO cases. Being a victim should experience stress and the need
to handle the victim until he recovers as well as be pro to the victim and follow up on the
perpetrator.
The Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence (RUU PKS) that has been designed
which will make it easier to handle violence against women, As recorded in the draft Bill
on Sexual Violence, that in addition to the prevention & handling of sexual violence, there
is also victim recovery and will follow up with the perpetrators, as stated in article 3
concerning the elimination of sexual violence in Chapter 2 of the Principles and
Objectives.
However, the bill above has not had a good response to the parties concerned until
now it has not been passed because it has experienced pros and cons that have different
perspectives on sexual violence. We know that Indonesia still adheres to a patriarchal
system that considers men to be superior, while women are inferior to the point of
experiencing hegemony in it. In fact, there is a need to be aware that online gender-based
violence is a form of violence that attacks the victim's mentality.
CONCLUSION
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just like
gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass the
victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. One of the cases is from a person who claimed to

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,
I didn't know what the use was. I said yes because I thought it would give him
pleasure, I felt alone when he was by my side, I didn't want him to leave. I never
gave permission to publish, to be disseminated in any form. But, whatever has
happened... Yes, it has happened. The damage has already occurred. For many years
almost crazy to keep everything by myself, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DARE
TO WRITE THIS, WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BUT SAD AND
SCARED AT THE SAME TIME.
I feel super paranoid and it's not normal anymore. Years of living in paranoia,
insecurities, many dreams that... may be withheld. I still have a positive side inside
of me to say it failed. Not completely. What about the person now? Normal college,
I also feel that my life is normal, everything is too heavy for me, because he also
shows no remorse, to bring this all to the law I feel is too heavy and it has been too
long. I have done everything by myself more or less in the umpteenth of this year.
For those of you who read, please stay alive, thank you for staying alive, you are
not alone, I know how difficult it is when you know that your intimate photos/videos
have been spread and my first instinct is to end everything, end life, but I realize, I
am not alone, I read all the writings below more and more motivates me to live, to
be STRONG, you are all STRONG! A virtual hug to all of you who are reading
this."
Based on the example of the above case in each case that occurs, it is important to
protect privacy in cyberspace, and it is the main key to self-security to avoid violence or
crime in cyberspace, for example, privacy is a limit on self or information about yourself
from the reach of the public eye and also does not tell anyone about ourselves who is
private so that there is no dissemination of information that is not It should be in the public
and not for consumption in the general public because it is privacy.
Regulation and Handling in the Personal Realm
The importance of online privacy protection for yourself, Protection of privacy in
cyberspace is the main key to personal security from various violence or crimes in
cyberspace. Basically, what is meant by privacy is the restriction on oneself or information
about oneself from the reach of the public eye. In the online realm, protecting privacy
means protecting personal data, especially sensitive data, from anyone whose personal
data, or also known to be able to access such information, as PII (personally identifiable
both online and offline).
There needs to be a reference to the legal basis that regulates sexual harassment on
social media is in article 27 paragraph 1 of the ITE Law "Sexual harassment in social
media such as spreading immoral content on social media has been regulated in Law No.
44 of 2008 concerning fornography. In addition, there is a need for a law that can handle
further and complex KBGO cases. Being a victim should experience stress and the need
to handle the victim until he recovers as well as be pro to the victim and follow up on the
perpetrator.
The Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence (RUU PKS) that has been designed
which will make it easier to handle violence against women, As recorded in the draft Bill
on Sexual Violence, that in addition to the prevention & handling of sexual violence, there
is also victim recovery and will follow up with the perpetrators, as stated in article 3
concerning the elimination of sexual violence in Chapter 2 of the Principles and
Objectives.
However, the bill above has not had a good response to the parties concerned until
now it has not been passed because it has experienced pros and cons that have different
perspectives on sexual violence. We know that Indonesia still adheres to a patriarchal
system that considers men to be superior, while women are inferior to the point of
experiencing hegemony in it. In fact, there is a need to be aware that online gender-based
violence is a form of violence that attacks the victim's mentality.
CONCLUSION
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just like
gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass the
victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. One of the cases is from a person who claimed to

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,

pleasure, I felt alone when he was by my side, I didn't want him to leave. I never

happened... Yes, it has happened. The damage has already occurred. For many years
almost crazy to keep everything by myself, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DARE
TO WRITE THIS, WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BUT SAD AND
SCARED AT THE SAME TIME.
I feel super paranoid and it's not normal anymore. Years of living in paranoia,
insecurities, many dreams that... may be withheld. I still have a positive side inside
of me to say it failed. Not completely. What about the person now? Normal college,
I also feel that my life is normal, everything is too heavy for me, because he also
shows no remorse, to bring this all to the law I feel is too heavy and it has been too

violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,
I didn't know what the use was. I said yes because I thought it would give him
pleasure, I felt alone when he was by my side, I didn't want him to leave. I never
gave permission to publish, to be disseminated in any form. But, whatever has
happened... Yes, it has happened. The damage has already occurred. For many years
almost crazy to keep everything by myself, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DARE
TO WRITE THIS, WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BUT SAD AND
SCARED AT THE SAME TIME.
I feel super paranoid and it's not normal anymore. Years of living in paranoia,
insecurities, many dreams that... may be withheld. I still have a positive side inside
of me to say it failed. Not completely. What about the person now? Normal college,
I also feel that my life is normal, everything is too heavy for me, because he also
shows no remorse, to bring this all to the law I feel is too heavy and it has been too
long. I have done everything by myself more or less in the umpteenth of this year.
For those of you who read, please stay alive, thank you for staying alive, you are
not alone, I know how difficult it is when you know that your intimate photos/videos
have been spread and my first instinct is to end everything, end life, but I realize, I
am not alone, I read all the writings below more and more motivates me to live, to
be STRONG, you are all STRONG! A virtual hug to all of you who are reading
this."
Based on the example of the above case in each case that occurs, it is important to
protect privacy in cyberspace, and it is the main key to self-security to avoid violence or
crime in cyberspace, for example, privacy is a limit on self or information about yourself
from the reach of the public eye and also does not tell anyone about ourselves who is
private so that there is no dissemination of information that is not It should be in the public
and not for consumption in the general public because it is privacy.
Regulation and Handling in the Personal Realm
The importance of online privacy protection for yourself, Protection of privacy in
cyberspace is the main key to personal security from various violence or crimes in
cyberspace. Basically, what is meant by privacy is the restriction on oneself or information
about oneself from the reach of the public eye. In the online realm, protecting privacy
means protecting personal data, especially sensitive data, from anyone whose personal
data, or also known to be able to access such information, as PII (personally identifiable
both online and offline).
There needs to be a reference to the legal basis that regulates sexual harassment on
social media is in article 27 paragraph 1 of the ITE Law "Sexual harassment in social
media such as spreading immoral content on social media has been regulated in Law No.
44 of 2008 concerning fornography. In addition, there is a need for a law that can handle
further and complex KBGO cases. Being a victim should experience stress and the need
to handle the victim until he recovers as well as be pro to the victim and follow up on the
perpetrator.
The Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence (RUU PKS) that has been designed
which will make it easier to handle violence against women, As recorded in the draft Bill
on Sexual Violence, that in addition to the prevention & handling of sexual violence, there
is also victim recovery and will follow up with the perpetrators, as stated in article 3
concerning the elimination of sexual violence in Chapter 2 of the Principles and
Objectives.
However, the bill above has not had a good response to the parties concerned until
now it has not been passed because it has experienced pros and cons that have different
perspectives on sexual violence. We know that Indonesia still adheres to a patriarchal
system that considers men to be superior, while women are inferior to the point of
experiencing hegemony in it. In fact, there is a need to be aware that online gender-based
violence is a form of violence that attacks the victim's mentality.
CONCLUSION
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just like
gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass the
victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. One of the cases is from a person who claimed to
be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex (VCS) because he
was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was not obeyed. There

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,
I didn't know what the use was. I said yes because I thought it would give him
pleasure, I felt alone when he was by my side, I didn't want him to leave. I never
gave permission to publish, to be disseminated in any form. But, whatever has
happened... Yes, it has happened. The damage has already occurred. For many years
almost crazy to keep everything by myself, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DARE
TO WRITE THIS, WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BUT SAD AND
SCARED AT THE SAME TIME.
I feel super paranoid and it's not normal anymore. Years of living in paranoia,
insecurities, many dreams that... may be withheld. I still have a positive side inside
of me to say it failed. Not completely. What about the person now? Normal college,
I also feel that my life is normal, everything is too heavy for me, because he also
shows no remorse, to bring this all to the law I feel is too heavy and it has been too
long. I have done everything by myself more or less in the umpteenth of this year.
For those of you who read, please stay alive, thank you for staying alive, you are
not alone, I know how difficult it is when you know that your intimate photos/videos
have been spread and my first instinct is to end everything, end life, but I realize, I
am not alone, I read all the writings below more and more motivates me to live, to
be STRONG, you are all STRONG! A virtual hug to all of you who are reading
this."
Based on the example of the above case in each case that occurs, it is important to
protect privacy in cyberspace, and it is the main key to self-security to avoid violence or
crime in cyberspace, for example, privacy is a limit on self or information about yourself
from the reach of the public eye and also does not tell anyone about ourselves who is
private so that there is no dissemination of information that is not It should be in the public
and not for consumption in the general public because it is privacy.
Regulation and Handling in the Personal Realm
The importance of online privacy protection for yourself, Protection of privacy in
cyberspace is the main key to personal security from various violence or crimes in
cyberspace. Basically, what is meant by privacy is the restriction on oneself or information
about oneself from the reach of the public eye. In the online realm, protecting privacy
means protecting personal data, especially sensitive data, from anyone whose personal
data, or also known to be able to access such information, as PII (personally identifiable
both online and offline).
There needs to be a reference to the legal basis that regulates sexual harassment on
social media is in article 27 paragraph 1 of the ITE Law "Sexual harassment in social
media such as spreading immoral content on social media has been regulated in Law No.
44 of 2008 concerning fornography. In addition, there is a need for a law that can handle
further and complex KBGO cases. Being a victim should experience stress and the need
to handle the victim until he recovers as well as be pro to the victim and follow up on the
perpetrator.
The Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence (RUU PKS) that has been designed
which will make it easier to handle violence against women, As recorded in the draft Bill

Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,

reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that

the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,
I didn't know what the use was. I said yes because I thought it would give him
pleasure, I felt alone when he was by my side, I didn't want him to leave. I never
gave permission to publish, to be disseminated in any form. But, whatever has
happened... Yes, it has happened. The damage has already occurred. For many years
almost crazy to keep everything by myself, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DARE
TO WRITE THIS, WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BUT SAD AND
SCARED AT THE SAME TIME.
I feel super paranoid and it's not normal anymore. Years of living in paranoia,
insecurities, many dreams that... may be withheld. I still have a positive side inside
of me to say it failed. Not completely. What about the person now? Normal college,
I also feel that my life is normal, everything is too heavy for me, because he also
shows no remorse, to bring this all to the law I feel is too heavy and it has been too
long. I have done everything by myself more or less in the umpteenth of this year.
For those of you who read, please stay alive, thank you for staying alive, you are
not alone, I know how difficult it is when you know that your intimate photos/videos
have been spread and my first instinct is to end everything, end life, but I realize, I
am not alone, I read all the writings below more and more motivates me to live, to
be STRONG, you are all STRONG! A virtual hug to all of you who are reading
this."
Based on the example of the above case in each case that occurs, it is important to
protect privacy in cyberspace, and it is the main key to self-security to avoid violence or
crime in cyberspace, for example, privacy is a limit on self or information about yourself
from the reach of the public eye and also does not tell anyone about ourselves who is
private so that there is no dissemination of information that is not It should be in the public
and not for consumption in the general public because it is privacy.
Regulation and Handling in the Personal Realm
The importance of online privacy protection for yourself, Protection of privacy in
cyberspace is the main key to personal security from various violence or crimes in
cyberspace. Basically, what is meant by privacy is the restriction on oneself or information
about oneself from the reach of the public eye. In the online realm, protecting privacy
means protecting personal data, especially sensitive data, from anyone whose personal
data, or also known to be able to access such information, as PII (personally identifiable
both online and offline).
There needs to be a reference to the legal basis that regulates sexual harassment on
social media is in article 27 paragraph 1 of the ITE Law "Sexual harassment in social
media such as spreading immoral content on social media has been regulated in Law No.
44 of 2008 concerning fornography. In addition, there is a need for a law that can handle
further and complex KBGO cases. Being a victim should experience stress and the need
to handle the victim until he recovers as well as be pro to the victim and follow up on the
perpetrator.
The Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence (RUU PKS) that has been designed
which will make it easier to handle violence against women, As recorded in the draft Bill
on Sexual Violence, that in addition to the prevention & handling of sexual violence, there
is also victim recovery and will follow up with the perpetrators, as stated in article 3
concerning the elimination of sexual violence in Chapter 2 of the Principles and
Objectives.
However, the bill above has not had a good response to the parties concerned until
now it has not been passed because it has experienced pros and cons that have different
perspectives on sexual violence. We know that Indonesia still adheres to a patriarchal
system that considers men to be superior, while women are inferior to the point of
experiencing hegemony in it. In fact, there is a need to be aware that online gender-based
violence is a form of violence that attacks the victim's mentality.
CONCLUSION
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just like
gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass the
victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just

the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,
I didn't know what the use was. I said yes because I thought it would give him
pleasure, I felt alone when he was by my side, I didn't want him to leave. I never
gave permission to publish, to be disseminated in any form. But, whatever has
happened... Yes, it has happened. The damage has already occurred. For many years
almost crazy to keep everything by myself, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DARE
TO WRITE THIS, WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BUT SAD AND
SCARED AT THE SAME TIME.
I feel super paranoid and it's not normal anymore. Years of living in paranoia,
insecurities, many dreams that... may be withheld. I still have a positive side inside
of me to say it failed. Not completely. What about the person now? Normal college,
I also feel that my life is normal, everything is too heavy for me, because he also
shows no remorse, to bring this all to the law I feel is too heavy and it has been too
long. I have done everything by myself more or less in the umpteenth of this year.
For those of you who read, please stay alive, thank you for staying alive, you are
not alone, I know how difficult it is when you know that your intimate photos/videos
have been spread and my first instinct is to end everything, end life, but I realize, I
am not alone, I read all the writings below more and more motivates me to live, to
be STRONG, you are all STRONG! A virtual hug to all of you who are reading
this."

reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,
I didn't know what the use was. I said yes because I thought it would give him
pleasure, I felt alone when he was by my side, I didn't want him to leave. I never
gave permission to publish, to be disseminated in any form. But, whatever has
happened... Yes, it has happened. The damage has already occurred. For many years
almost crazy to keep everything by myself, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DARE
TO WRITE THIS, WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BUT SAD AND
SCARED AT THE SAME TIME.
I feel super paranoid and it's not normal anymore. Years of living in paranoia,
insecurities, many dreams that... may be withheld. I still have a positive side inside
of me to say it failed. Not completely. What about the person now? Normal college,
I also feel that my life is normal, everything is too heavy for me, because he also
shows no remorse, to bring this all to the law I feel is too heavy and it has been too
long. I have done everything by myself more or less in the umpteenth of this year.
For those of you who read, please stay alive, thank you for staying alive, you are
not alone, I know how difficult it is when you know that your intimate photos/videos
have been spread and my first instinct is to end everything, end life, but I realize, I
am not alone, I read all the writings below more and more motivates me to live, to
be STRONG, you are all STRONG! A virtual hug to all of you who are reading
this."
Based on the example of the above case in each case that occurs, it is important to
protect privacy in cyberspace, and it is the main key to self-security to avoid violence or
crime in cyberspace, for example, privacy is a limit on self or information about yourself
from the reach of the public eye and also does not tell anyone about ourselves who is
private so that there is no dissemination of information that is not It should be in the public
and not for consumption in the general public because it is privacy.
Regulation and Handling in the Personal Realm
The importance of online privacy protection for yourself, Protection of privacy in
cyberspace is the main key to personal security from various violence or crimes in
cyberspace. Basically, what is meant by privacy is the restriction on oneself or information
about oneself from the reach of the public eye. In the online realm, protecting privacy
means protecting personal data, especially sensitive data, from anyone whose personal
data, or also known to be able to access such information, as PII (personally identifiable

further and complex KBGO cases. Being a victim should experience stress and the need
to handle the victim until he recovers as well as be pro to the victim and follow up on the
perpetrator.
The Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence (RUU PKS) that has been designed
which will make it easier to handle violence against women, As recorded in the draft Bill
on Sexual Violence, that in addition to the prevention & handling of sexual violence, there
is also victim recovery and will follow up with the perpetrators, as stated in article 3
concerning the elimination of sexual violence in Chapter 2 of the Principles and
Objectives.
However, the bill above has not had a good response to the parties concerned until
now it has not been passed because it has experienced pros and cons that have different
perspectives on sexual violence. We know that Indonesia still adheres to a patriarchal
system that considers men to be superior, while women are inferior to the point of
experiencing hegemony in it. In fact, there is a need to be aware that online gender-based
violence is a form of violence that attacks the victim's mentality.
CONCLUSION
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just like
gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass the
victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. One of the cases is from a person who claimed to
be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex (VCS) because he
was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was not obeyed. There

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION A. Getting to Know (KBGO) or Online Gender-
Based Violence
Gender is the result of a societal construction that differentiates the distribution
between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA

between men and women socio-culturally. The construction born in society that women
have a feminine character as a whole, while men have a universally masculine manner,
which seems to be a nature. In fact, we understand that feminine and masculine characters
can be owned by both genders. Actually, gender differences are not a problem as long as
they do not give birth to gender inequalities.
Giving birth to stereotypes or negative labeling of women on their gender and the
occurrence of subordination, discrimination to physical violence against women are
included in gender violence. More specifically, gender violence is an act of violence that,
if explored more deeply, turns out to contain intentions or intentions that harass the victim,
both physically and assumedly. Online-Based Gender Violence (KBGO). The term is
certainly not so strange to those of us who daily do our activities online using the internet.
Unfortunately, this sophistication is not uncommon to be abused by evil hands in
cyberspace who intend to defame, bring down, demonize the victim or opponent who is
the target of their heinous acts and provide a long-term psychological impact that can
certainly change the lives and perspectives of the victims towards themselves, as done by
the perpetrators of KGBO acts. Komnas Perempuan noted an increase in the number of
KGBO case reporting from 2019 to the present, where in the previous year there were 65
cases, and to 97 cases in 2019.
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just
like gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass
the victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
of general violence in the online realm. It is important to distinguish these forms of online
violence so that the solutions provided are more appropriate and effective. If KBGO
occurs, the solution is not only law enforcement, but also needs interventions that are able
to change the perspective of perpetrators regarding gender and sexual relations with
victims. Without this intervention, after serving a sentence, the perpetrator will still have
a gender-biased and sexual perspective.
Gender-based violence is increasing in line with the increase in the use of digital
technology. Various forms of online gender-based violence (KBGO) have also occurred.
Gender-based violence is violence directed against a person based on gender identity. The
results of the research "The State Of The World's
Girls 2020" with the theme Free to Be Online by the Plan International Foundation shows
that 56 percent of perpetrators of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) are familiar
people, such as friends on social media, school or work, boyfriends and ex-girlfriends.
Meanwhile, the other perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. Nazla
Mariza, Influencing Director of the Plan International Indonesia Foundation, said that
research and understanding of KBGO is important because the impact of online violence
is as serious as other forms of violence for victims. "Warnings and violence are increasing
and intense during the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of netizens being exposed to online
violence is higher, especially online activities have become part of daily life and their use
is increasingly massive," he said in the webinar "Freedom Online: freedom of expression
and freedom from online violence" (9/10) in commemoration of International Day of the
Girl Child. The report focuses on the experience of vulnerable young children and women
aged 15 to 25 years in 31 countries.
Specifically, there were 500 respondents from Indonesia, with 32 percent of them
having experienced and 56 having reported children and young women experiencing
KBGO on social media. In addition, 395 of them had experienced multiple types of
KBGO, in the form of threats of sexual violence, bullying, stalking, and physical ridicule.
KBGO in the Personal Realm
Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) is a familiar person, such as friends on
social media, school or work, girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. Meanwhile, the other
perpetrators are anonymous accounts and strangers. For example, the case of New
Students Targeted by KBGO Photographed Without Permission and Distributed to
Social Media It is a mode of Online Gender-Based Violence (KBGO) that is rampant on
campus. Including, during the orientation period where many victims target freshmen.
Based on the guidelines released by Safenet, KBGO refers to a type of violence facilitated
by technology (the online realm), with the intention or intention to harass victims based
on gender or sexuality.
Some of the activities categorized by KBGO include, violations of privacy,
supervision and monitoring including stalking, destruction of reputation and credibility to
harassment in the online realm in the form of online harassment, KomeSaffanah Fajar
from P3 EM Universitas Brawijaya (UB) said, during her campus perspective period in
2020/2021, there were at least 20 more reports of KBGO cases received by her institution.
The perpetrators are 7 people who are part of UB students. "The perpetrator has been
reported to the rectorate," said Saffanah in a KBGO discussion during the MABA
Orientation Period held by Perempuan Mahardhika online.
From a number of stories and cases that have come in, one of them is from someone
who claimed to be forced to comply with his girlfriend's request to do a video call sex
(VCS) because he was threatened that his nude photos would be spread if his request was
not obeyed. And he told about his experience of it:
"The story of my new experience, a few weeks ago, to be precise... A guy who was
once my close friend who was originally kind, understanding, and not rude became
a very rude person and also imposed his will on me. He started asking for photos
and videos of me topless, causr of his sweet promised to me, he said he'll never
show or share my pics and videos to other people, so I agreed. But... After a few
days, he asked for more photos and videos and his request got crazier, he forced me
to be naked and invited me to VCS, because I was afraid of his threats, I complied
with his request for VCS, while crying I asked him to delete all my photos and
videos, but what did he do? HE YELLED AT ME AND SAID THAT I AM HIS
WHORE AND I SHOULD OBEY HIM. Because of panic I asked for help from the
safe net to help me overcome what I was going through, I felt that I was the most
despicable person, and I thought about suicide because I didn't dare to tell my
parents. He said he would share my videos and photos on social media if at that
time, at 6 am, I didn't follow him to send other video photos. But I thought long and
hard with the help of the safenet, and I started to be assertive, I blocked all his social
media, and thankfully until now there are no photos or videos of me that have been
circulated, but I am still afraid, panicking, and anxious if one day everyone will see
my photos and videos: (I want to take this to the legal process but I definitely need
the help of a guardian but I don't dare to tell my family. I want to ask for your
prayers so that my photos and videos don't spread, and hopefully there will be no
more me."
Another almost similar story was also shared by another victim. Again, about the
threat of spreading nude photos by people he once loved.
"Hello, I am also a victim of KBGO. Maybe it's more del, revenge porn. It happened
many years ago, my life before that... It's hard enough. Toxic family, no role models,
no characters to rely on to just tell stories about everyday life, maybe one of the
reasons why I can be in that position. Many romance stories failed, until I finally
met this 1 boyfriend, who I thought could "save" me from that situation. Totally
wrong. Yes, maybe at that time he was in love, and what we did was indeed the
consent and consent of both parties. Even though I can't say that's the whole thing,
he is my girlfriend who I think can get me out the most because of my very sad
condition at that time, I don't know what. Even "recording" what we did at that time,
I didn't know what the use was. I said yes because I thought it would give him
pleasure, I felt alone when he was by my side, I didn't want him to leave. I never
gave permission to publish, to be disseminated in any form. But, whatever has
happened... Yes, it has happened. The damage has already occurred. For many years
almost crazy to keep everything by myself, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I DARE
TO WRITE THIS, WHICH MAKES ME VERY HAPPY BUT SAD AND
SCARED AT THE SAME TIME.
I feel super paranoid and it's not normal anymore. Years of living in paranoia,
insecurities, many dreams that... may be withheld. I still have a positive side inside
of me to say it failed. Not completely. What about the person now? Normal college,
I also feel that my life is normal, everything is too heavy for me, because he also
shows no remorse, to bring this all to the law I feel is too heavy and it has been too
long. I have done everything by myself more or less in the umpteenth of this year.
For those of you who read, please stay alive, thank you for staying alive, you are
not alone, I know how difficult it is when you know that your intimate photos/videos
have been spread and my first instinct is to end everything, end life, but I realize, I
am not alone, I read all the writings below more and more motivates me to live, to
be STRONG, you are all STRONG! A virtual hug to all of you who are reading
this."
Based on the example of the above case in each case that occurs, it is important to
protect privacy in cyberspace, and it is the main key to self-security to avoid violence or
crime in cyberspace, for example, privacy is a limit on self or information about yourself
from the reach of the public eye and also does not tell anyone about ourselves who is
private so that there is no dissemination of information that is not It should be in the public
and not for consumption in the general public because it is privacy.
Regulation and Handling in the Personal Realm
The importance of online privacy protection for yourself, Protection of privacy in
cyberspace is the main key to personal security from various violence or crimes in
cyberspace. Basically, what is meant by privacy is the restriction on oneself or information
about oneself from the reach of the public eye. In the online realm, protecting privacy
means protecting personal data, especially sensitive data, from anyone whose personal
data, or also known to be able to access such information, as PII (personally identifiable
both online and offline).
There needs to be a reference to the legal basis that regulates sexual harassment on
social media is in article 27 paragraph 1 of the ITE Law "Sexual harassment in social
media such as spreading immoral content on social media has been regulated in Law No.
44 of 2008 concerning fornography. In addition, there is a need for a law that can handle
further and complex KBGO cases. Being a victim should experience stress and the need
to handle the victim until he recovers as well as be pro to the victim and follow up on the
perpetrator.
The Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence (RUU PKS) that has been designed
which will make it easier to handle violence against women, As recorded in the draft Bill
on Sexual Violence, that in addition to the prevention & handling of sexual violence, there
is also victim recovery and will follow up with the perpetrators, as stated in article 3
concerning the elimination of sexual violence in Chapter 2 of the Principles and
Objectives.
However, the bill above has not had a good response to the parties concerned until
now it has not been passed because it has experienced pros and cons that have different
perspectives on sexual violence. We know that Indonesia still adheres to a patriarchal
system that considers men to be superior, while women are inferior to the point of
experiencing hegemony in it. In fact, there is a need to be aware that online gender-based
violence is a form of violence that attacks the victim's mentality.
CONCLUSION
Online gender-based violence (KBGO) or technology-facilitated violence, just like
gender-based violence in the real world, must have the intention or intention to harass the
victim based on gender or sexuality. If not, then the violence is included in the category
