Abstract

Tangerang City, as a multicultural urban area, faces various social challenges, including domestic violence (DV), which has serious impacts on victims and the social environment. Generation Z, as a productive age group still developing their character, has great potential as agents of domestic violence prevention if equipped with the right legal understanding. This article discusses the results of community service activities aimed at improving legal literacy regarding criminal sanctions for domestic violence among Gen Z students through interactive seminars. The activities were carried out in several high schools and vocational schools in Tangerang City and included legal material presentations, case study discussions, and role-playing simulations. The results of the activities showed a significant increase in students' understanding of Law Number 23 of 2004 concerning the Elimination of Domestic Violence, the types of violence regulated, and the criminal consequences for perpetrators. Participants demonstrated positive responses through active participation, courage to ask questions, and the ability to re-explain the material. In addition, students took the initiative to form "Anti-DV Students" groups in their respective schools as agents of further outreach. Community asset mapping demonstrated support from schools, student organizations, and law enforcement officials as potential partners in the program's sustainability. This article recommends the integration of social issue-based legal education into school programs and the strengthening of student networks that care about law for the sustainable prevention of domestic violence.
