Peran Hukum dalam Mengatasi Kekerasan Berbasis Gender: Analisis dari Sudut Pandang HAM dalam Politik Islam

Abstract

Gender-based violence (GBV) is a serious issue that violates human rights and is often ignored in the legal context. This research aims to analyze the role of law in addressing GBV from the perspective of human rights in political Islam. Using a qualitative approach, this article explores how the principles of Islamic law, which emphasize protection and respect for women, can be implemented to reduce gender-based violence. Islamic law, through the concepts of qiṣāṣ and ḥudūd, provides a framework of sanctions for perpetrators of sexual and violent crimes, yet their implementation is often hampered by social and cultural factors. The research also highlights the importance of strong evidence and due process in ensuring justice for victims. As such, this article recommends the need for legal reform and increased public awareness to support more effective implementation of laws to address GBV and protect women's rights in Indonesia.
