ABSTRACT

Domestic violence is a social problem in Indonesia, with the number of cases increasing. There have not been many sociological studies discussing women's resistance to domestic violence. This study analyses women's resistance against violence in Indonesian households with two professional spouses. It employed qualitative methods, interviewing 61 informants. The findings show that in dual-career families, women's responses to violence are sometimes active. Recurring violence fosters resistance. The study finds several triggers for resistance and various resistance strategies. The study concludes that female resistance alters husband–wife relations, reducing the oppression of wives. Thus female resistance is a strategy to fight gender inequality.

摘要

家庭暴力是印度尼西亚的一个社会问题，案件数量不断增加。讨论妇女抵抗家庭暴力的社会学研究并不多。本研究分析了有两个职业配偶的印度尼西亚家庭中女性对暴力的抵抗力。它采用定性方法，采访了 61 名线人。研究结果表明，在双重职业家庭中，女性对暴力的反应有时是积极的。反复出现的暴力会助长抵抗。该研究发现了几种抵抗的触发因素和各种抵抗策略。该研究得出的结论是，女性的抵抗改变了夫妻关系，减少了对妻子的压迫。因此，女性抵抗是对抗性别不平等的一种策略。
