The prevalence of violence, especially against female adolescents and children, is still quite high. This study aimed to analyze
the factors that influence attitudes toward gender-based violence
among female adolescents. We employed a cross-sectional
research design, and the study population consisted of 107 adolescents in Surabaya who accessed the Google form. The statistical
analysis used the chi-square test for the adolescent’s characteristics and Spearman’s rank correlation with α=0.05. The study
found a significant correlation (p<0.005) between adolescents’
attitudes toward gender-based violence and their father and mother’s education levels. Additionally, school climate (p<0.005) and
family conflict (p<0.005) also correlated with these attitudes.
Adolescents’ formative years are primarily centered around their
homes and schools, making these environments crucial for shaping their beliefs and actions. Therefore, they present valuable
opportunities for educating young people about gender-based violence. The research emphasizes the need for comprehensive
changes in teenagers’ attitudes, calling for active participation
from teenagers themselves, their families, schools, society, and
social media regulations.
