unknown by the general public. in accordance with Law No. 23 of 2004 on the
Elimination of Domestic Violence is violence is seen as an act of domestic
violence cases through criminal act. In the settlement of domestic violence cases
through the prosecutor in the District Court granted the protection of victims as
witnesses in accordance with Circular Attorney General of the Republic of
Indonesia Number: SE-007 / A / JA / 11/2011 About Handling Case Crime of

high, the head of the district attorney and chief state prosecutor branches
throughout Indonesia when this particular in Wonosari District Attorney.
Furthermore, the prosecutor working with the Forum Management Victims of
Violence against Women and Children (Forum PK2PA) DIY. There are two
obstacles in the prosecutor's efforts in providing protection against domestic
violence victims as witnesses namely internal and external. Internal is the lack of
budget, lack of human resources and infrastructure that supports and less optimal
cooperation between the police, prosecutors, courts and NGOs and other law
enforcement agencies in providing protection to the victim as a witness while the
external constraint is the habit of the people who think domestic violence is a
thing reasonable, the tendency of the victim as a witness to cover the mistreatment
and lack of public knowledge about the existence of legal protection by law
enforcement officials, especially the district attorney Wonosari.
