Multiplication of Stube HEMAT in Lampung held an activity with the topic of Peace and Justice in Kutosari, a branch of GKSBS Batanghari in East Lampung (29-30/10/2022). It is very important for young people to understand violence against women and children and what are the impacts on people suffering fromviolence. They suffered not only physical impacts but also psychological or mental ones causing trauma. Cases of domestic violence (KDRT) can be in the form of sexual violence such as rape, physical, verbal, or economic violence by not providing a living.

The topic of Violence Against Women and Children was explained by members of the Women and Children Protection Unit (UPPA) of the East Lampung Police by giving an understanding of violence and what is meant by 'victim'. The meaning of violence is an act of physical abuse bringing a bad impact to the victim, such as a child, teenager, adult, or violence against the elderly. Then what is the meaning of the victim? From a general understanding, a victim is a person, an individual, or a group who suffers losses, including physical injuries, mental, and emotional suffering, economic losses, or human rights obstruction, through intentional or unintentional actions against the law.

Concerning violence against women and children, the resource person revealed that if women and children experience violence, there are clauses or criminal acts against the perpetrators. Yes, there are articles to protect victims and strict sanctions for the perpetrators, for example in Article 1 (12) of RI Law No. 35 of 2014 concerning changes to RI Law no. 23 of 2002 concerning to child protection, "Children's rights are part of human rights that must be guaranteed, protected and fulfilled by parents, families, communities, the state, government, and local governments." Furthermore, article 76 C says, "everyone is prohibited from placing, allowing, doing, ordering, doing, or participating in violence against children." In this article, it is clear that there is protection for children from violence if they are treated not according to the law.

If the victim suffers physical injury, the perpetrator is subject to punishment and fines determined by law, as in Article 80 (1), "Anyone who violates the provisions referred to in Article 76 C, shall be punished with imprisonment for a maximum of 3 (three) years 6 (six) months and/or a maximum fine of Rp. 72.000.000,00 (seventy-two million rupiahs)”. Paragraph 2, "If the child referred to in paragraph (1) is seriously injured, then the perpetrator shall be punished with imprisonment for a maximum of 5 (five) years and/or a fine of up to Rp. 100.000.000,00 (one hundred million rupiahs)”. Paragraph 3, "If the child referred to in paragraph (2) dies, then the perpetrator shall be punished with imprisonment for a maximum of 15 (fifteen) years and/or a fine of up to Rp. 3.000.000.000,00 (three billion rupiah). Paragraph 4, "Criminal plus one-third of the provisions referred to in paragraph (1), paragraph (2), and paragraph (3) if the parents who did the abuse."

The resource person reminded stakeholders to continue promoting socialization on anti-violence against children and women so that the community understands and takes responsibility for looking after each other so that violence does not occur in society. The session became a lesson and knowledge to the participants about laws related to violence against children and women. Thank you, Multiplication of Stube HEMAT in Lampung for continuing work to develop the community. ***
