Abstract: There are regulations governing the prevention and handling of sexual violence in Indonesia which are called the Law on the Crime of Sexual Violence. This law was promulgated in 2022 (Law Number 12 of 2022 concerning Criminal Acts of Sexual Violence), discussing the prevention, treatment, protection and rehabilitation of victims. Then there is a law from the minister of education, culture, research and technology regarding the prevention and handling of sexual violence on campus. It is called Ministerial Regulation Number 30 of 2021 or other named Permendibudristek Number 30 of 2021. This regulation has been socialized to students, lecturers and staff at Sam Ratulangi University. The aim of this research is to understand the attitudes of campus residents and the psychological impact concerning the implementation of Ministerial Regulation No. 30/2021. It provides insights into respondents' knowledge and comprehension of sexual violence, as well as the psychological effects post-awareness of the regulation. This is crucial to fortify the effectiveness of implementing this rule within higher education environments. The research methodology adopted a quantitative descriptive approach using a survey method through a questionnaire assessing attitudes toward the implementation of Ministerial Regulation No. 30/2021. The study population comprised all campus residents: students, faculty, staff, and even security personnel, totaling 19,750. Employing Cohen Manion and Morrison's calculation table with a confidence level of 90% and alpha of 0.1, a sample size of 269 individuals was determined. Data analysis will encompass the campus residents' attitude percentages toward the regulation and psychological impact data. Results indicate that the majority hold supportive attitudes toward Ministerial Regulation No. 30/2021. The psychological impact stemming from its presence manifests as increased calmness yet a simultaneous need for cautious behavior.

Abstract: Many African societies apply patriarchy, an oppressive, authoritarian and discriminatory social system in which power rests with men, for regulating gender relations. However, with the socio-structural evolution of these societies, new ideological currents gradually change the mores of the citizens, among which feminism. This ideology aims for more equitable relations between the sexes, which implicitly means questioning the model of patriarchal societies and contesting male domination; hence its potential danger and the defense strategies that men could adopt to mitigate or even annihilate its impact. This research is interested not only in these strategies, but also in the factors which are their catalysts; a question which, to the best of our knowledge, is little explored in the African patriarchal context specifically. In this vein, the hypotheses it tests propose that, in the African patriarchal context, men’s sociodemographic characteristics, their feeling that male hegemony is threatened and their adherence to the patriarchal system interact with representations of feminism to explain the defensive strategies they develop to preserve their hegemony consecrated by patriarchy. To test these hypotheses, a survey was conducted among 554 male participants residing in the towns of Maroua and Dschang (Cameroon). Their ages range from 19 to 67 years (M= 24.61; SD= 7.10). They were administered various measurement scales relating to representations of feminism (α=.75), feeling of threat to male hegemony (α=.70), defense strategies (α=.76) and support to patriarchy (α=.76). The data collected provides empirical support for the hypotheses of the study.
