Portrait Resilience of Victims of Violence Sexual in the Novel Perempuan yang Menangis Kepada Bulan Hitam

Abstract

Throughout 2021-2024, cases of sexual violence against women have increased.
The impact of violence on victims tends to be traumatic. Trauma can hinder selfdevelopment, so it needs to be overcome either by the individual's own efforts or
professional assistance to have the ability to recover (resilience). Efforts to prevent
sexual violence and handle post-violence victims can use literary education
alternatives. Literary works can affect the inner psychology of humans. This will
encourage humans as connoisseurs of literary works to be motivated to imitate
something contained in them. The novel The Crying Woman To Bulan Hitam is one
of the literary works that tells the true story of a woman victim of sexual violence
who can find resilience. The study of this novel uses the hermeneutic method to
analyze the data. This research is expected to provide a discourse on the resilience
of victims of sexual violence. The results obtained from this study are that the novel
Perempuan who Cried on the Black Moon neatly describes the process towards
resilience, which is represented by the character Magi Diela, which includes two
factors, namely I have and I am.
