Policy Transfer for Sexual Violence Prevention and Management in Indonesian Higher Education Institutions
Keywords:
Abstract
This research delves into the intricacies of policy transfer in the domain of sexual violence prevention and management within Indonesian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Through a phenomenological approach, the study engaged with 15 key informants and scrutinized 17 policy documents, uncovering that the applicability of such policies is not universal and is significantly influenced by diverse social, economic, and political contexts. The study underscores the important role of effective communication with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, advocating for an understanding of the varied contexts in which these policies are executed. It highlights the disconnection between policy formulation and its practical enactment, suggesting that initial attempts at linear policy transfer eventually evolve into more complex processes once implementation unfolds. This complexity arises from the intersection of theoretical policy frameworks with the pragmatic realities of institutional contexts, underlining the need for adaptable and context-sensitive approaches in the fight against sexual violence in educational settings.
