Many countries in the world, including Indonesia, take the issue of violence against women very seriously. This is an important issue, as it has the potential to hinder women’s well-being and their participation in development. Preventing and eradicating violence against any individual, notably women and young girls, is one of the targets in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that Indonesia needs to achieve. Several efforts to prevent and tackle violence against women have been made by multiple parties. In light of this, the seminar discussed the trend and condition of violence against women in Indonesia, efforts that have been made, and challenges faced in tackling the issue. The seminar was expected to provide input for stakeholders in their work to formulate strategies to eradicate violence against women.
