Before the ratification of UU TPKS or Law on Sexual Violence Crimes in 2022, the major legislation governing sexual violence in Indonesia was KUHP, or the Penal Code, a book of criminal laws with colonial roots. KUHP (before 2023 revision) constituted sexual violence in a narrow fashion; encompassing only rape against a woman outside of marriage (hence, a violation of the victim’s chastity) and molestation (as an act against decency). In contrast, UU TPKS covers wide sexual violence forms and ostensibly reconstitutes them as a violation of the victim’s body and sexuality, thus an act against human rights and dignity. This paper will employ a poststructural policy analysis method, “What’s the Problem Represented to be?” (WPR), to critically examine how UU TPKS ‘deconstructs’ and ‘reconstructs’ sexual violence ‘problems’. It will ultimately explain the ways UU TPKS has disrupted the hegemonic knowledge governing sexual violence in Indonesia since the colonial era.
