摘要

This research investigates the intersection of cyberfeminism, technology, and the issue of sex trafficking in cyberspace. As internet technologies evolve rapidly, the digital realm has emerged not only a space for social interaction, but also as a platform for exploitation—particularly through the rise of online sex trafficking. This study critically explores the duality between physical and virtual realities, focusing on how technology, often shaped by patriarchal values, contributes to the commodification and marginalization of women and children. Furthermore, the research highlights the cyberfeminism as a form of counter-narrative, highlighting its potential to challenge digital patriarchy and empower women in the proliferation of online sex trafficking. It also evaluates the inadequacies of current regulatory and legal frameworks in protecting vulnerable individuals in cyberspace, underscoring the gaps in law enforcement. Comparative analysis was conducted between international efforts, such as the Palermo Protocol, and national legal responses, particularly Indonesia’s Law on the Elimination of Sexual Violence and the Anti-Trafficking Law. The study emphasizes the urgent for stronger enforcement mechanisms and the development of a more comprehensive legal framework to address these issues effectively. By integrating a cyberfeminist perspective into legal theory, this research advocates for stronger international cooperation and policy reforms, which aim to bridge legal gaps and enhance protections for women and children against online exploitation. As a result, a paradigm shift in legal approaches is used to address the challenges posed by digital platforms in facilitating human trafficking.
