Abstract

It would not be a become be a problematic issue if gender differences were did not create gender inequalities. However, it turns out that gender differences have created various injustices leading to inequality of opportunities, rights, and responsibilities, especially to for women. Those phenomena can be reflected and even reinforced by the online news media in line with their rapid growth. Hence, this research seeks to investigate the women’s representation as rape victims in Indonesian online media from the feminist perspective of critical discourse analysis by Sara Mills. The data are taken from Tribunnews.com and analyzed by the qualitative content analysis. The results show that there is a tendency for gender inequality. This can be seen from the depiction of the victim as a weak, powerless, gentle, and subordinate to men.
