Abstract
Despite Indonesia's ratification of the CRPD and the enactment of Law No. 8/2016, women with disabilities continue to experience widespread gender-based violence. This article analyzes the structural causes of such violence through an intersectional feminist lens, drawing primarily on Iris Marion Young’s Social Connection Model of political responsibility. Employing a feminist perspective grounded in the advocacy experiences of civil society organizations (Pusat Rehabilitasi YAKKUM and SIGAB), as well as data from the 2024 National Assembly of Women with Disabilities, this article argues that such violence is rooted in systemic exclusion and the failure of state and society to transform unjust structures. The findings call for collective political responsibility and inclusive governance that centers the knowledge, voice, and agency of women with disabilities—not as passive beneficiaries, but as active political subjects
