Abstract

Violence against women is increasing every year, even though various policies
and programs have been implemented, both at the government level to the
level of non-governmental organizations. The purpose of this paper is to
identify and evaluate developments in the handling of violence against women
by using gender management system in government agencies in Waingapu,
East Sumba. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The results showed
that the understanding on the principles of Gender Management System (GMS)
was not fully and properly understood because gender was understood to be
limited to equal rights and opportunities for women, not for both sexes. Each
agency does not yet have a gender focal point and has not implemented
gender budgeting. This will have an impact in creating and implementing
programs with genders perspective. The handling of cases of violence against
women is still not optimal due to limitation in human resources (such as
educational background in psychology and tools / technology for DNA
checking in police agencies), as well as the low budgets so that not all
programs can be implemented continuously. The patriarchal cultural factors
that still dominant in the society, as well as aspects of coordination and action,
such as the involvement of academics, are completely absent.
