Abstract

English

Sexual violence in educational environments, especially universities, is a significant social issue that needs urgent attention. This study highlights the issue of sexual violence in university settings, focusing on understanding the role of victims in cases of sexual violence from a victimological perspective. The purpose of this research is to analyze the extent to which internal and external factors influence victims' decisions to report or not report incidents, as well as to explore victims' involvement in incidents of sexual violence. Using an empirical legal method with a case-based approach, this study combines surveys, interviews, and literature reviews to gather primary and secondary data. The novelty of this research lies in its in-depth analysis of the psychological and social dynamics affecting victims' involvement in sexual violence cases on campus. The findings indicate that in some cases, victims may indirectly contribute to the occurrence of sexual violence due to unawareness of their social surroundings, referred to as "imprudent victims" in victimology. This study recommends establishing a PPKS Task Force and introducing “Sahabat PPKS” in each faculty as strategic measures to create a safe and supportive campus environment for victims. The research aims to contribute to the development of comprehensive protection policies, including legal, psychological, and social support for victims within academic settings.

Sexual violence in educational environments, especially universities, is a significant social issue that needs urgent attention. This was highlighted in a case study at Hasanuddin University in 2022. There has been an increasing number of victims over the years, largely because many victims of sexual violence, both physical and non-physical, are hesitant to report due to fear of psychological impact, concerns about victim-blaming, ongoing harassment, or discrimination. The study utilized purposive sampling and combined field studies with literature reviews for data collection. Through qualitative descriptive analysis, which included interviews and literature assessments, the research explored the involvement of victims in incidents of sexual violence at the university. It was found that the role of victims at Hasanuddin University was actively involved in both physical and non-physical aspects of sexual violence. The study also discusses what regulations and measures are effective in reducing sexual violence, providing insights into how they affect the overall environment based on the experiences of victims and authorities. Keywords: Sexual Violence, University, Victimology.
