  • In the 1945 Constitution of the State of the Republic of Indonesia (UUD 1945) in Chapter XA on Human Rights, there is no mention of the institution of protection and enforcement of human rights therein, this constitutional amendment has not accommodated institutional strengthening of the protection of the rights of women and children. The existence of Komnas HAM as a state institution that has been regulated in the law, is also not included in the 1945 Constitution as a state institution that implements the protection and enforcement of human rights in Indonesia. The strengthening of human rights protection institutions for women and children is important in strengthening their institutions, through a law that regulates them independently and integrated. During this time, the institutional arrangements became separate, namely between the National Commission on Violence Against Women and the Indonesian Child Protection Commission. This separation of the institutions causes protection and enforcement of human rights to women and children to be biased and weak, because the implementation of the protection and enforcement of human rights are related and in touch with each other. When the number of human rights violations against women and children has not been resolved optimally, due to the unintegrated institutional concept, this implies the independence and budget allocated by the state to be small, not comparable with the number of cases to be resolved. The strengthening of human rights protection institutions in Indonesia should be carried out by integrating all existing human rights protections against the National Commission on Violence Against Women, the Commission on the Protection of Indonesian Children and the National Commission on Human Rights to become a human rights institution human beings for all the protection and enforcement of human rights in Indonesia.
