ABSTRACT
Article 27 of the 1945 Constitution has regulated the equality of positions between women and men in Indonesia, this is also supported by the existence of a movement to fight for gender equality by feminists who want equal rights before the law without discrimination. In connection with this, related to the crime of sexual violence that can happen to anyone, including adult men who can become victims, this should be a special concern for law enforcement. However, it is not uncommon for views from the community regarding an unbalanced assessment of a community group, namely to men who are often not considered as a serious matter by the community. The majority of sexual violence crimes that occur in Indonesia occur against women and children as victims. The regulation of criminal acts of sexual violence in the Indonesian Criminal Code which is still considered lacking in protection against certain parties or groups is the author's idea or idea to suggest that there is a need to improve the provisions for regulating sexual violence crimes in Indonesia. The problem in this study is how the urgency of regulating sexual violence crimes is expected to be a solution for the community, especially victims of the crime of sexual violence. On April 12, 2022, the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia ratified Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning the Crime of Sexual Violence.

The law is expected to protect the dignity and worth of victims, but as a state of law it is necessary to have derivative regulations that formulate standard operating procedures for the implementation of the Crime of Sexual Violence.
