Domestic violence against women beneficiaries of the Family Hope Program (Program Keluarga Harapan/PKH) constitutes a multidimensional challenge involving legal vulnerability, economic dependence, and limited access to justice. This community-based program addresses these issues by developing an integrated protection and empowerment model aimed at strengthening legal literacy, accelerating reporting mechanisms, and promoting women’s economic resilience. The intervention was implemented in Ciruas District, Serang Regency, targeting PKH beneficiary households at high risk of domestic violence. The program employed participatory legal education, trauma-informed training for PKH facilitators, activation of a 72-hour rapid response standard operating procedure, dissemination of practical reporting and evidence tools, and post-reporting economic empowerment through micro-enterprise support. The results demonstrate a substantial increase in survivors’ legal awareness and valid case reporting, enhanced capacity of PKH facilitators as community legal navigators, and improved economic participation among survivors. These findings indicate that legal protection mechanisms are significantly more effective when reinforced by economic empowerment strategies. The study concludes that an integrated, community-based approach can transform domestic violence response systems from reactive interventions into sustainable empowerment frameworks
