Save the Children Indonesia
BACKGROUND
In 2013, Save the Children Indonesia, through the Sponsorship program- extended its intervention in Sumba island, Eastern Indonesia, for fifteen-year program implementation. The program covers two districts of West Sumba and Central Sumba, consisting of 11 targeted sub-districts with the interventions on five core programs of Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD), Basic Education (BE), School Health and Nutrition (SHN), and Adolescent development (AD and MNCHN (Maternal, Newborn, Child Health and Nutrition) started in the mid-2018.
Violence against women and girls across Indonesia remains pervasive, with one in three experiencing violence in their lifetime. Data from the national commission in 2018 stated that violence against women within households is the highest form, with a rising trend of marital rape, as women feel more confident to report. Violence is yet to be prohibited by law in all settings.
Children are also not immune from violence in their daily lives. According to the Local Child Protection Agency (LPAD), within the last five years, more than 500 cases of violence against girls have been reported, half of which is sexual violence cases. Also, according to the data from the Department of Women Empowerment and Child Protection in Sumba Barat Region (2020), in 2019, 28 violence against women and 32 cases against children were reported. However, those numbers are only the tip of the iceberg. Violence cases in Sumba are underreported because (a) people think that violence is normal in daily life, with no need to report it; (b) they are afraid and ashamed to report it; (c) they do not understand the reporting mechanism; and (d) they have limited knowledge about violence and gender-based violence.
