Abstrak

Penggunaan kekerasan seksual sebagai senjata perang di Republik Demokratik Kongo (DRC) telah menjadi salah satu bentuk kekerasan berbasis gender yang paling meluas dan destruktif. Artikel ini mengeksplorasi alasan mengapa kekerasan seksual digunakan secara luas di DRC. Dengan menggunakan perspektif feminis Jacqui True dalam kerangka kerja kekerasan struktural, artikel ini menganalisis tiga faktor utama: norma gender dan struktur patriarki, kerangka hukum yang lemah, serta kesenjangan sosial-ekonomi. Studi kasus DRC menunjukkan bagaimana faktor-faktor ini saling berinteraksi untuk menjadikan kekerasan seksual sebagai alat strategis dalam perang. Penulis berargumen bahwa kekerasan seksual dalam perang bukan hanya akibat dari konflik, tetapi juga gejala ketidaksetaraan struktural yang lebih dalam. Artikel ini menyimpulkan pentingnya mengatasi ketidaksetaraan tersebut untuk mengurangi penggunaan kekerasan seksual sebagai senjata perang dan merekomendasikan kebijakan yang berfokus pada keadilan gender serta perlindungan korban.
