Inter-Organizational Communication and Enforcement Activities in Gender-Based Violence Countermeasures
ABSTRACT
Although gender-based violence is no longer a new issue, the
number and intensity tend to increase instead. Indonesia is one of the
developing countries with high-leveled gender-based violence. Indonesia’s
government has attempted various attempts to overcome it by involving a number
of NGOs and forming service-providing partner institutions. To make Indonesia
succeed in actualizing “zero violence” policyinterorganizational communication
and enforcement activities between partner institutions and government’s
institutions are absolutely needed. The article studies the extent of
inter-organizational communication and enforcement activities between partner
institutions and government institutions in overcoming genderbased violence.
The research was conducted in Sragen regency, Indonesia. The primary data were
obtained from the interviews with key informants, namely those in the
institutions providing accompaniment to gender-based violence victims, particularly
Aliansi Peduli Perempuan Sukowati(Alliance of Women-Care Sukowati) of
Sragen regency and the government institutions handling gender-based violence.
The secondary data were obtained from policy documents and
the data of gender-based violence victims. The data were analyzed qualitatively
by using Miles and Huberman’s model whereas the categorizing of
interorganizational communication
and enforcement activities refers to Van Horn and Van Meter’s implementation
theory. The research result finds that inter-organizational communication and
enforcement activities between the partner institutions and government’s
institutions in coping with gender-based violence has not been maximally
carried out. Although the standard and goal of the program have been understood
by the responsible individuals, there is still difficulty in its implementation.
Due to
the hierarchical power the officials and the institutions handling the
gender-based violence make the execution mechanism and the institutions’
procedures in handling gender-based violence hindered. Meanwhile the
countermeasure of gender-based violence requires consistent actions with
standards and objectives (either between the superior and subordinate or between the partner institutions and the
government). This is necessarily conducted since the countermeasures of
gender-based violence must be urgent and quick. The lateness in handling such
case can endanger the victim. Accordingly it is recommended to set up collegial
relation in handling the case. (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Ov-3kUBTfAsydi058WP4zoj-vpueUXf3)
