PROTECTION OF WOMEN VICTIMS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF MAQASHID SYARIAH

Atikah Rahmi, Qorry Ulfa Lasia

Abstract


Sexual violence against women constitutes one of the most profound violations of human rights, threatening women’s physical, psychological, and social well-being. This article aims to analyze the protection of women victims of sexual violence from the perspective of maqashid syariah. Maqashid syariah, as the overarching objectives of Islamic law, emphasizes the protection of five essential elements: religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property. In this context, the protection of life and the dignity of women constitutes the principal foundation for formulating an effective protection framework. This article identifies the legal and protective mechanisms provided by Islamic law for victims of sexual violence, exploring principles of justice, the restoration of victims’ rights, and the prevention of sexual violence. Through the lens of maqashid syariah, this article also discusses the critical roles of the state, civil society, and religious institutions in supporting victims, as well as in implementing policies consistent with fundamental Islamic values. Furthermore, this article proposes several practical strategies within the national legal system that can strengthen legal protection for women victims of sexual violence, while integrating the concept of maqashid syariah as a foundational principle in legal and policy reform. As such, this article makes a significant contribution to the advancement of scholarship on women’s protection from an Islamic perspective, offering concrete solutions toward the reduction of sexual violence against women in contemporary society.
