UNAIR Faculty of Law Doctoral Program: Domestic Violence Education and Advocacy for Batu City Government Officials

Written by Haris Haris on . Posted in News, PengMas, Student.

FH Public Relations (November 11, 2025) | Students of the Doctoral Program in Law, Faculty of Law, Universitas Airlangga (FH UNAIR) held a Legal Counseling and Assistance program themed “Protection for Victims of Domestic Violence” in Ngaglik Village, Batu City. The event was held on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, as part of the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, specifically in the area of ​​community service.

This program is a collaboration between UNAIR Faculty of Law Doctoral students and the Batu City Inspectorate. Sixty participants, including Heads of Personnel Sub-Divisions at Batu City Regional Work Units (SKPD), attended the event. The entire series of activities took place at the Ngaglik Village Hall from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Western Indonesian Time (WIB), demonstrating a shared commitment to strengthening legal understanding among local government officials.

The program is designed to last one month and consists of three main activities: legal counseling, a legal clinic, and legal assistance. The entire series is conducted voluntarily by doctoral students from the class of 2025. Through a gradual and iterative approach, these activities are expected to foster a more intensive dialogue between participants and presenters regarding the ever-evolving issue of domestic violence in society. Airlangga University criminal law expert, Sapta Apriliyanti, SH, MH, LLM, served as the main speaker at the counseling session. In her presentation, Sapta emphasized that Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence plays a crucial role in providing protection for vulnerable groups, particularly women, who frequently experience domestic violence. She explained that the provisions of the law aim to ensure the state’s presence in providing a sense of security for every victim.

In addition to discussing protection norms, Sapta also emphasized that men can also be victims of domestic violence, a phenomenon that is beginning to be evident in a number of cases handled by the courts. “In the Surabaya Court, there are currently four domestic violence cases against men that have been finalized, and one case is still in court,” he said. This demonstrates that domestic violence is a cross-gender issue that demands an adequate legal response.

Furthermore, Sapta explained the forms of domestic violence as regulated in Article 5 of the Domestic Violence Law, which include physical violence, psychological violence, sexual violence, and domestic neglect. He believes these various forms need to be comprehensively understood so that the public can recognize the signs of violence as early as possible. A proper understanding will help victims obtain legal protection more quickly and effectively. He also explained the status of domestic violence as a mixed offense, which can be either a complaint-based offense or a common offense. “Serious physical violence that causes serious injuries is a common offense that can be processed without a complaint. Meanwhile, psychological violence or theft within the family is a complaint-based offense and therefore requires a report from the victim,” he explained. This explanation emphasizes that handling domestic violence requires a thorough understanding of the type of violence that occurs.

Although domestic violence occurs within the family and is often wrapped in family values, Sapta emphasized that the law still sets clear boundaries. “Family relationships cannot be used as an excuse to eliminate criminal liability,” he said. Thus, the state remains obligated to ensure that all acts of domestic violence are processed according to applicable law.

This activity was also attended by representatives from the Faculty of Law, the management of the Doctoral Program in Law, the UNAIR Doctoral Law Student Association, and 21 doctoral students who acted as organizers. They collaborated with M. Muslich HS, SH, MH, the Special Assistant Inspector of Batu City, who also provided support to ensure the smooth running of this community service activity.

The entire series of counseling, legal clinics, and mentoring activities are designed as an ongoing program. Activities will not stop at a single event; they will be continued through periodic monitoring, advocacy, and community legal development. This ongoing program design serves as a strategy to ensure that the counseling material is not only understood on the day of the activity but also consistently internalized by the participants.

Through this ongoing approach, it is hoped that a stronger legal awareness will grow within the Batu City apparatus and community. It is hoped that the values ​​of justice, respect for human rights, and prevention of domestic violence can be more effectively instilled, thereby providing a real impact on improving legal protection for victims of domestic violence in the future.

The ACDH team collaborated with various parties, starting from the University of Riau Islands (UNRIKA), Raja Ali Haji Maritime University (UMRAH), and the Batu Ampar Sub-district government. Through the theme raised “Indonesian border empowerment; empowerment of Malay society and culture in the Riau Islands region”, it is hoped that it will provide an understanding to the community regarding the Crime of Human Trafficking.

Amira Paripurna, Ph.D. as a lecturer in criminal law at UNAIR FH and a speaker in community service, said that most human trafficking routes are in the Batam area. Not without reason, in 2004 to 2005 the government has repatriated at least 120 victims of human trafficking and 347,696 problematic Indonesian Migrant Workers (TKI) from Malaysia.

“There are various modes of operation of human trafficking (TPPO), what needs to be known are the routes, impacts, and strategies for preventing and eradicating human trafficking. Not only the role of the government, the community must also play a role in eradicating this human trafficking crime,” he said.

Iqbal Felisiano, LL.M. a lecturer at FH UNAIR and also the host of the community service event said that the community was very enthusiastic during the discussion. Most people do not know the impact or criminal sanctions for those involved in human trafficking.

Amira said that people are not aware when they are involved in illegal activities. “There are still people who do not want to report illegal labor shipments. Most migrant workers are sent to nearby countries such as Malaysia and Singapore,” he said.

There needs to be a solution to resolve the many human trafficking crimes. Amira emphasized that there needs to be synergy between the strategic positions of the Batam community and the government, especially Batu Ampar sub-district considering the high number of human trafficking crimes. “We hope that through this community service, we can increase mutual awareness between the community, educational institutions and the government. Starting from community service, in the future Batu Ampar Sub-district can be the spearhead in handling human trafficking crimes,” explained the lecturer in criminal law at FH UNAIR.

FH UNAIR Assisting Porang Madiun Farmer Group to Obtain Certificate of Origin

Written by yuni afifah on . Posted in News, PengMas.

(16/10/2023) | Kepel Village, Kare, Kab. Madiun is one of the villages in East Java that is known as a producer of porang. The foreign market’s need for Porang is quite high, but on the other hand, farmers still need to be knowledgeable about export procedures for certain agricultural products. One of the export requirements is the existence of a Certificate of Origin (COO). This certificate is a certification of the origin of goods, where it is stated in the certificate that the goods/commodities being exported originate from the exporting region/country.

Understanding Certificate of Origin (COO) is relevant to farmers, especially those exporting agricultural products. One of the reasons why farmers need to know COO in International Trade terms is that COO is a document that states the product’s origin and is required in international trade. Farmers must understand the COO requirements that the destination country may impose to export agricultural products to other countries. With a correct COO, agricultural products may be able to be shipped or receive higher import duties. It can also help farmers optimize profits because understanding the COO can help farmers optimize gains from international trade. By meeting COO requirements, they can avoid additional fees, high import duties, or other trade barriers.

Through Community Service (Pengmas) activities, the International Law Section of the Faculty of Law, Airlangga University (HI FH UNAIR Section) provides assistance to the Association of Farmer Groups (GAPOKTAN) in Kepel Village. District Kare, Madiun Regency. This activity is carried out to obtain a Certificate of Origin (COO) as an export requirement. With this assistance, farmers who are members of GAPOKTAN can understand the procedures for obtaining a COO to expand into foreign markets following international trade rules.

Dr. Aktieva Tri Tjitrawati, the lecturer at FH UNAIR, one of the focuses of her studies in the field of international trade, stated that after this activity, it is hoped that there will be support from various stakeholders to help Porang farmers in Kepel Village to expand overseas markets. “All stakeholders must understand provisions for the export of certain products as part of support for farmers,” said Dr. Aktieva on the sidelines of the community service activities. Meanwhile, Roim, one of the participants, expressed his hope and gratitude to the Community Service team from FH UNAIR for always being able to support the farmers’ cultivation results to go international. Indah Camelia, Head of Community Service activities, said this assistance will continue until the Kepel Village farmers obtain COO. “Currently, we are helping to manage obtaining a COO at the relevant Department. We hope that by the end of this year, the farmers of Kepel Village will have a COO for their Porang products,” concluded Indah.
