PEREMPUAN MUDA DI INTERNET: PENGALAMAN MENGHADAPI DAN MELAWAN KEKERASAN BERBASIS GENDER ONLINE

Desintha Dwi Asriani

Abstract

This article focuses on the dynamics of young women's experiences in using internet-based technology amid the increasing trend of online gender-based violence (OGBV). This study deploys a qualitative approach, in which data collection is conducted through Forum Group Discussion (FGD) and in-depth interviews. Using feminist standpoint theory, women tending to be at risk of being victims become main informant. From their experiences, the   meaningful information of how technology turns to be a new arena for the practice of violence against women could be identified.  However, sociologically, based on the subaltern counterpublic perspective, the current study also shows that technology allows women to create safe spaces. Therefore, there is capacity of agentive practice that could be utilized to anticipate, respond to and resist the risk of OGBV, whether in the individual level or based on collective solidarity.

Abstrak

Artikel ini berfokus pada dinamika pengalaman perempuan muda dalam penggunaan teknologi berbasis internet di tengah meningkatnya tren kekerasan berbasis gender online (KGBO). Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, dimana pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui FGD dan wawancara mendalam. Dengan menggunakan teori feminist standpoint, perempuan yang memiliki risiko lebih tinggi menjadi korban menjadi informan utama untuk menjelaskan bagaimana teknologi menjadi arena baru bagi praktik kekerasan terhadap perempuan.  Namun, secara sosiologis, berbasis pendekatan subaltern counterpublic, studi ini juga mengungkap bagaimana teknologi memungkinkan perempuan untuk menciptakan ruang aman. Sehingga muncul peluang praktik agensi yang dapat digunakan untuk mengantisipasi, merespons hingga melawan risiko KBGO baik pada level individu maupun berbasis pada solidaritas kolektif.
