Analisis Tindakan Femisida Intim terhadap Perempuan dalam Relasi Kuasa Gender Studi Kasus di Kabupaten Bandung Barat
Keywords:
feminicide, gender based violence, patriarchal power, feminist legal theory, legal reformAbstract
This study aims to explore femicide as the most extreme form of gender-based violence, focusing on the 2022
case of Wiwin Sunengsih in West Bandung Regency. The research emphasizes the need to understand femicide
not merely as an individual criminal act, but as a systemic manifestation of patriarchal power that perpetuates
fear, control, and the silencing of women. Using an empirical legal approach, this qualitative research employs
a descriptive method to examine how law functions in society, particularly in the enforcement and institutional
responses to femicide. A case approach is used to analyze the application of legal norms in practice, supported
by in-depth interviews and participatory observation. Data were collected from purposively selected informants,
including law enforcement officers and officials from a women's protection agency. The findings reveal that the
femicide of Wiwin was the culmination of prolonged gender-based violence and power imbalances within an
intimate relationship. The legal apparatus failed to provide preventive protection despite repeated threats
reported by the victim's family. From a radical feminist perspective, this case reflects how women’s bodies and
lives become battlegrounds for male control, legitimized by social norms. The study also demonstrates that the
legal system's formal neutrality often disregards the vulnerability of women, highlighting the need for structural
legal reform. Thus, femicide must be addressed through gender-sensitive and preventive legal frameworks that
go beyond punitive responses.
