KEHIDUPAN BERMAKNA PEREMPUAN YANG MENGALAMI KEKERASAN DALAM RUMAH TANGGA
Abstract: Meaningful life
occurs when an individual is able to give meaning to his life. To achieve a
meaningful life, individuals go through a process of achieving a meaningful
life that begins from the suffering stage, the stage of self-understanding, the
discovery phase of the meaning of life, the meaning realization stage, and the
stage of meaningful life. This study aimed to see a meaningful life of women
who have experienced violence in the home. Domestic violence is any act against
someone, especially women, which results in the emergence of physical, sexual,
or psychological suffering, and /or negligence of households within the
domestic sphere.
This study used qualitative research with a phenomenological approach and
the number of the respondents was three women experiencing domestic violence.
The data used in this study were observation and interviews. The results of
this study indicated that the process of achieving a meaningful life started
from the stage of suffering, experiencing violence. The women who experienced
violence were the ones found to have been divorced but reconciled with her
husband, when women underwent violence they were not able to give meaning to
their life in a positive way. When women were not able to give meaning to their
life, they began praying and reading positive books that directed them to seek
the meaning of life, namely children, religion, values, and expectations as the
meaning of life which then directed them to change attitudes in the face of
violence. Changing attitudes carried out by women are looking for help and
choosing to separate from her husbands. After changing attitudes, women
committed themselves to living a meaningful life that had been found to fulfill
the meaning of life with work and developing skills. The women who had
fulfilled the meaning of life were able to look at life more meaningful by
generating belief, seeing violence as a trial and behind the trial is a lesson
that can be learned and that it can ultimately bring happiness.
