Domestic violence increased dramatically in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the previous pandemic. This article analyses how Indonesia's criminal justice system responded to domestic violence during the pandemic. This article used secondary data gathered from various online resources and legal publications. This article demonstrated that during the pandemic, victims of domestic violence in Indonesia were unable to access justice due to two significant barriers. Before filing a formal complaint with the appropriate official, victims would prefer to discuss the matter with their relatives. Furthermore, the victims could not report their cases to the responsible official due to mobility constraints. This case demonstrates that in patriarchal societies, the criminal justice system could not handle domestic violence cases more effectively. As a result, the technical operation of the criminal justice system necessitates the development of a novel method of case filing. This article proposes that the Indonesian criminal justice system establish a complaint system based on social media to provide victims of domestic violence with prompt justice. Furthermore, the legal advocacy role of the community in assisting domestic violence victims is critical.
与之前的疫情相比，印度尼西亚在新冠疫情期间家庭暴力事件急剧增加。本文分析了印度尼西亚刑事司法系统在疫情期间对家庭暴力的应对措施。本文使用了从各种在线资源和法律出版物收集的二手数据。本文表明，在疫情期间，印度尼西亚的家庭暴力受害者由于两个重大障碍而无法获得司法救助。在向相关官员正式投诉之前，受害者更愿意与他们的亲属讨论此事。此外，由于行动受限，受害者无法向负责官员报告他们的案件。这个案例表明，在父权制社会中，刑事司法系统无法更有效地处理家庭暴力案件。因此，刑事司法系统的技术运作需要开发一种新的案件提交方法。本文建议印度尼西亚刑事司法系统建立一个基于社交媒体的投诉系统，以便为家庭暴力受害者提供及时的司法救助。此外，社区在协助家庭暴力受害者方面的法律宣传作用至关重要。
