Abstract
Violence against women is one of the most horrifying global issues that threaten human life in Indonesia and other numerous part of the world. Currently, Indonesia is in a state of emergency concerning violence against women. The current study discusses the development of the protection of women from structural and cultural threats, and explores the delays toward the protection of women from such threats of violence. A library research was employed by collecting literature on the issues of violence against women. The study showed that there were various local and global factors ranging from economic, cultural, political, and structural factors that trigger the extraordinary numbers of violence against women. The results also demonstrate that the main effort to protect women from cultural and structural violence is by strengthening the role of women in the culture and the society.
