Abstract
This paper describes the role of the family concerning their disabled girl as a victim of a sexual assault. Based on the data issued by Indonesian National Commission for Women (Komnas Perempuan) in 2019, the incidence of assaults against women (KtP) continued to increase significantly from 2015-2018. The number of cases of the assaults against women with disabilities (PdD) is alarming in every province.The Province of Yogyakarta occupies the first position with 47 cases; Second, the Province of Jakarta with 13 cases, followed by six cases in ‘]East Java Province. This data is only the tip of the iceberg because out of the 34 provinces in Indonesia, only 13 provinces have returned the registration form to the National Commission. The findings of this study explain that the occurrence of assaults against women with disabilities (PdD) is due to the weak position of the family in the dimensions of the economy, education, social environment. On the others side, women with disabilities are seen in disgrace. When they become the victims and their moral values are ruined, they are often unable to speak but blamed. The hardship they have experienced shows they need assistance, protection, and comprehensive and sustainable recovery.
