Keywords: safe space, gender-based violence.
Jakarta Feminist, cyberfeminism INTRODUCTION The urgency of sexual violence cases has become a problem at all levels of society worldwide, including in Indonesia.
Every year, the number of cases of genderbased sexual violence has increased from previously 940 to 1,721 in 2021 (Komnas Perempuan, 2.
Weak handling of cases of sexual violence in various places, such as in the private and online domains, because the perpetrators are people closest to the victims, which makes them reluctant to report them.
Victims need legal protection and policies that can guarantee the broadest possible protection for victims.

This concept emerged along with cyberfeminism activities that combine feminism, technological culture, and new media that refer to how feminists use new media vehicles to empower and liberate themselves from male domination of discourse.
By utilizing the tools available on social media, cyberfeminist activities spread through hashtags, tags, and captions to create a mass movement followed by thousands of people globally.
Previously, spaces interpreted to gather the masses, like parks, fields, and libraries (Edwards, 2.
, now form a virtual space that can spread the same interests as conventional public spaces.
Jakarta Feminist is a cross-feminist association that actively highlights various issues related to gender-based sexual violence.
Starting their journey in 2014 on Facebook, they hope to promote feminist values to achieve gender equality in Indonesia and realize an equal civilization for all, especially women and vulnerable groups throughout the feminist movement in Indonesia.
Jakarta Feminist's favorite social media platform in 2022 is Instagram (Jakarta Feminist, 2.
Focusing on Instagram was a strategic decision taken in 2021 by the Jakarta Feminist team due to the high number of Instagram users and high levels of engagement in Indonesia.
Jakarta Feminist manages five Instagram accounts: @jakartafeminist, @carilayanan, @womensmarchjkt, @femfestid, and @seafamnetwork.
Each has a different purpose.
This research will focus on Instagram @jakartafeminist.
As of 30 May 2022.
Instagram @jakartafeminist has 34 thousand followers and has uploaded 1,998 posts, including information in the form of photos, videos, and writings containing issues of sexual violence.
The existence of the @Jakartafeminist account provides an overview of the cyberfeminism movement, which still exists today and promises a public space that can provide space for women to express opinions regarding gender issues and sexual violence and, of course, can bring together gender equality movement.
This research will answer how Jakarta Feminist's cyberfeminist activities are an effort to create a safe space for society.
Social Movement and Social Media Social movements mobilize society to oppose the state and government system, which does not always use violence and armed rebellion, as occurs in riots, uprisings, and revolutions (Singh, 2.
Inclusively, social movements are based on goals shared and ongoing interactions in solidarity with elite groups, rivals or enemies, and those in authority (Meyer & Tarrow, 1.
Social movements are divided based on characteristics, such as old and new social movements.
Old social movements have four main characteristics, including the existence of informal interaction networks, the existence of shared feelings and solidarity, the existence of conflict as the focus of collective action, and prioritizing forms of protest (Della & Mario, 2.

New social movements have become generally accepted, but researchers still debate the matter.
The reasons are that the new social movement emphasizes symbolic action in civil society or the cultural environment as an arena for collective action in addition to instrumental action in the political or state environment, emphasizing the importance of processes that promote autonomy and self-determination and the role of post-materialist values in action.
Contemporary collectives emphasize forms of resistance to conflicts over material resources and question the construction of collective identity and identification of interest groups that occur.
New social movement mobilization often uses social media as an organizing tool that has proven to empower users (Mazzoli, 2.
Social media not only functions to disseminate and exchange information but also has a large-scale impact, like the Arab Spring movement (Kalliny M.
& Kalliny M.

Occupy Wall Street Movements (Al-Hasan et al.

, and #BlackLivesMatter Movements (Mundt et al.
, 2.
The presence of social media plays an essential role in organizing social movements and mobilizing movements at the global level.
The movement became a powerful new space for creating discourse, including spreading international issues, even those related to women's issues.
Instagram as a social media comes with unique and varied personalization features that allow users to carry out new social movements using hashtags, captions, and live.
This seems to have been done by Jakarta Feminist via Instagram @jakartafeminist.
Jakarta Feminist forms a collective identity based on its members' identity, concern, and advocacy for the rights of women and minority groups in Indonesia (Annisa, 2.

Cyberfeminism in Public Space Cyberfeminism is not only a theory or critical study that offers ideas about the liberation of women from all kinds of patriarchal domination but also provides a new vehicle for women to rise to free themselves from domination and subordination through new media.
The cyberfeminism concept cannot be separated from the role of It brings women closer to a safe space where they can connect with each other, get them closer to technology, and free them to experiment with their identities.

Putu Ratih Kumala Dewi Haraway calls the cyborg has no origin or end creature, so it rejects the essential view of men and women.
She then identified humans as more egalitarian cyborgs because evolution has blurred the boundaries between animals, humans, and technology as sex and gender.
The feminists then used the cyborg term to overcome the control over individuals.
They previously prevented them from escaping the existing binary opposition.
In this case, the main discussion regarding cyberfeminism focuses more on the technology and the embodiment of cyborgs as a medium for spreading feminist ideas.
There is no gender dominating the other.
Both women and men are victims of a patriarchal system and have the right to be treated like humans, have their human rights as humans, and have the right to equality in various fields.
The existence of cyberfeminism paves the way for problems that women face, such as inequality, inequality and gender injustice.

Putu Ratih Kumala Dewi Women's March Jakarta (WMJ) is one of the media created so that the whole community can mingle and take to the streets to express their ideas about safe spaces for women and vulnerable groups.
This can be seen from the focus of the campaign carried out by Jakarta Feminist.
They seem very brave to voice their views and are determined to fight against silence.
Previously, in 2022, the Jakarta Women's March could not be held offline due to the pandemic.
this year's WMJ invited the public to take to the streets together since the pre-event on 20 May 2023.
Before D-day, the Jakarta Feminist team promoted the invitation through social media to attend and join in the Women's March Jakarta.
They made various posters containing information related to WMJ activities, and discussions about events and even promoted campaigns #SudahiBungkamLawan #WMJ2023 #Womensmarch #womensmarchjakarta.
Through social media, @Jakartafeminist opens recruitment for new members who want to participate in events and organize action groups through various guides made in the form of easy-to-read and understandable posters.
What the Jakarta feminists are doing is part of a new social movement .
New social movements can be carried out not only offline but also online by utilizing social This is because social media helps activists to accommodate organizational needs, coordinate internal and external needs, mobilize the masses, and assist with recruitment activities for the wider public.
By using social media, people outside the organization can easily access information, network and connect to solidarity networks, which can later provide global support for the group.
Jakarta Feminist, through its social media, offers the Women's March Jakarta campaign as a powerful new space to gain mobilization support from all communities in various places connected via the internet so that they can spread the issues they bring globally.

Not a few of the classes, training activities and discussions held by Jakarta Feminist are always filled with spectators.
Apart from the fact that the themes raised are always interesting and relate to the audience's needs, another reason behind the large number of participants joining online and offline classes is that they are not paid.
Most events published by Jakarta Feminist on social media can be participated in for free, although they are only limited to a certain quotaAifor example, feminism 101 Due to the high public interest in Feminism 101, the second and third parts of the Feminism 101 public training series were held in January and February 2022.
Each training was held over three half-day sessions on Saturday mornings, with 55 people participating in at least one of three sessions held in January, 35 people completing full training, 65 people participating in at least one of three sessions in February, and 40 people completing full training.
Apart from that, for professional activists.
Jakarta Feminist also provides international discussions such as SEAFAM, which can help activists gain broad insight into the international issues they are currently facing.
Even though this discussion is limited, it does not stop the enthusiasm of all participants every year.
When linked members share similar interests and passions, they can become content producers and practitioners and develop an expanded repertoire of resources for sharing information, creating ideas, finding solutions together, building knowledge, creating innovations, etc.

Yoana Salim has revealed that all the materials she creates are not in line with the advocacy or campaign that Jakarta Feminist is currently carrying out.
So, both the education sector and the actual program cannot be separated from the role and results of advocacy activities currently being carried out.
As mentioned earlier.
Jakarta Feminist encourages the ratification of laws that are pro-women and marginalized groups in various campaigns, including legitimizing the Sexual Violence Elimination Bill, which is expected to not only regulate more types of sexual violence but also require recovery services for survivors, legitimize Domestic Workers Protection Bill which is expected to recognize domestic workers as formal workers, give them the right to wages, leave, and provide protection to them.

To not expand too much on the topic discussed by the researcher, the researcher will focus on the advocacy carried out by Jakarta Feminist in the campaign to legitimize the Sexual Violence Elimination Bill or what we currently know by the name Sexual Violence Crime Bill.

The second advocacy focus centred around the draft Criminal Code (RKUHP).
Although Indonesia's colonial-era Criminal Code (KUHP) was in dire need of updating, many of the proposed revisions are highly concerning, especially those relating to sexual and reproductive health and rights, private intimate relationships, and freedom of speech.
Unfortunately, after several years of intense debate and multiple drafts.
Indonesia's new Criminal Code was ratified on 6 December, 2022.
However, there is a three-year grace period before the new Code becomes active as law, so our advocacy will continue in the hope that alterations can be made.
Although the ratification is a massive loss for Indonesian civil society in general, there are several positive elements relating to abortion and rape.

The word space is often identified with a shape that has certain boundaries.
However, through cyberfeminism, collaborative actions created offline and online by utilizing new media actually make it possible to create a new, safe public space for them to gather, discuss and support each other.

Putu Ratih Kumala Dewi Discussion The presence of Jakarta Feminist as an organization wants to provide understanding so that people can free themselves from the shackles of violence.
This is evident from the focus of Jakarta Feminist's work, which is to oversee the ratification of laws that are pro-women and marginalized groups, such as in the fields of campaigning, education and advocacy.
Through new social movements on social media.
Jakarta Feminist functions as a 'mirror reflection' of the image of a new society whose creation movement is underway, characterized by the need to create collective action and provide new awareness to the broader community.
Several points can be concluded from the reasons why Jakarta Feminist has so far become a new social First, the characteristic of a new social movement is raising the issue of self-defence of a community and society against social control and supervision created by the state (Buechler, 1.
In this discussion.
Jakarta Feminists have raised many concerns about the social conditions that are currently occurring due to the high rate of sexual violence that occurs in Indonesia.
The need for a legal umbrella that can protect victims and survivors of sexual violence is constructed by presenting themselves in accordance with what should be done to end this issue.
Jakarta Feminist moves through social media, spreading information and making people aware of the importance of caring about this action so that they gradually realize that the TPKS Law is needed as a solution.
One post via photo or video that is displayed as a form of self-construction regarding the issue of sexual violence is then accepted by society and has the same effect on the individual so that, in the end, they start to join the Second, the new social movements radically changed the Marxist paradigm, which explains conflict and contradiction regarding class and class conflict.
Of course, this is also realized by Jakarta Feminist, which has described itself as a feminist organization that fights for the fulfilment and protection of the rights of women and other minority and marginalized groups.
Since the beginning, class and class conflict have also been part of the issues highlighted by Jakarta Feminist.
Therefore, the focus of the Jakarta Feminist campaign is to improve systems, regulations and policies which until now still do not support women and other marginalized groups by overseeing legitimizing Bill on the Elimination of Sexual Violence, a legal Bill on the Protection of Domestic Workers.
Revision of the ITE Law which threatens and shuts down voices of criticism from the public, as well as rejecting the RKUHP which threatens freedom of expression and even regulates the private sphere.

Putu Ratih Kumala Dewi In new social movements, the class background does not determine the identity of actors or support ongoing collective action, but each individual can move independently as an identity.
So far.
Jakarta Feminist has moved by adopting and utilizing social media, one of which is Instagram.
An individual uses internet technology to enter social media and form relationships that no longer have to meet physically but are represented by a communication technology device or terminal in In this cyberspace, an individual's presence can be represented by an animated cyborg or avatar that can be customized according to their wishes.
This identity can be anyone and can communicate using new ways by utilizing current information technology.
Instagram @jakartafeminist, as cyberfeminist activities, is indirectly very useful, especially for contemporary women's activism today.
The social media Instagram @jakartafeminist is used as a means of disseminating feminist perspectives, which are not only based on the vision and mission of Jakarta Feminist, but also based on Jakarta Feminist thoughts and positions on the issues currently being fought for.
Moreover, so far, the mainstream media has been minimal in reporting gender and feminist issues.
Social media can be an alternative media presence that can provide a gender perspective, especially in terms of the importance of pro-women and minority groups policies, such as the TPKS Bill, which was presented to protect victims and Instagram social media is also still believed to provide freedom of Even though the fundamentalist views and movements of Indonesian society continue to develop, the cyberfeminism movement carried out by Jakarta Feminist is ultimately expected to be able to reach the wider community, especially young people in remote areas of Indonesia and all corners of Indonesia.
Jakarta Feminist believes that its presence as a cross-feminist association can represent the current generation so that they can start cyberfeminist activities to support various policies towards women and minority groups.
Instagram @jakartafeminist can also expand the movement that previously took the form of closed, limited discussions, campaigns only in Jakarta, but has developed into something broader and more interesting with various events and projects such as the Women's March.
Using social media reduces communication costs, and information reaches followers more quickly from various regions in Indonesia and abroad.
Not only that, social media also makes it easier for individuals to work as activists who can make similar contributions to their organizations.
As seen by many Jakarta feminists, many of their Instagram followers also act individually by posting, liking, commenting and sharing information related to the TPKS Bill via their personal Instagram so that the spread of information is also greater.
Cyberfeminism carried out by Jakarta Feminist originates from collaborative actions made offline and online by utilizing new media.
