- Abstract
Indonesia and USA are democratic countries, where the public is given access to take part in the election of politicians who will represent the people in parliamentary policy making. Indonesia itself has experienced an increase in the number of female politicians due to the election obligation for political parties to involve female politicians. Just like Indonesian, Americans currently experiencing an increase in the number of female politicians since 2018. Female politicians in general tend to carry a political agenda of gender and equality in their campaigns, but between Indonesia and USA there are differences in the resolution of sexual violence even though the pressure in solving sexual violence problems is the same. Now, USA has taken one step further in increasing the prevention of sexual violence through VAWA (Violence Against Women Act), while in Indonesia itself, the planning of the Draft Law on National Sexual Violence (known as RUU-PKS) is experiencing problems, due to the refusal which unfortunately comes from female politicians in Indonesia itself. In this case, this journal will discuss Indonesia and the USA, which have similarities in the government system but experience differences in creating the sexual violence law, using the MSS method, the most similarity system.
