Abstract

Cases of sexual violence have recently occurred frequently in the public sector, such as workplaces, public services, educational institutions, and even places of worship like mosques. The Indonesian Mosque Council (DMI), as an authoritative institution, aims to create mosques that are friendly to women and children to address this issue. This hope is carried out by the leadership of the Indonesian Mosque Council from the central level to the regions. This research aims to examine the responses and prevention models of sexual violence that will be implemented by the Regional Leadership of the Indonesian Mosque Council (PD DMI) in Malang Regency in realizing mosques that are friendly to women and children. This research is a field study with a phenomenological qualitative approach. Primary data sources include the PD DMI of Malang Regency, the Expert Council of PD DMI of Malang Regency, the management of the Great Mosque and the Grand Mosque, as well as the Department of Empowerment of Muslimah, Children, and Families (PPMAK) at PD DMI of Malang Regency. Meanwhile, the secondary data consists of literature books, journals, laws, and related regulations obtained from interviews and documentation. The results obtained indicate that realizing a mosque that is friendly to women and children is not only achieved through the provision of information and education on the prevention of sexual violence but also includes the establishment of regulations, integration of themes in Friday sermons, education through study circles, infrastructure improvements, the establishment of family corners, and collaboration with relevant institutions.
