| Summary: | This research aims to analyze the gender aspects in the Johan Galtung
thought about Violence. Johan Galtung conception of violence, namely, direct
violence, structural violence and cultural violence was comprehensive enough to
observe violence at all levels, including gender-based violence. The issue of
violence appeal to feminists because of violence against women is a mechanism
of subordination of women. Violence against women have an impact not only for
women victims, but also women in general, which ultimately in the lives of
women always feel threatened by numerous acts of violence in public and private
sphere.

of thought Johan Galtung with his life background. Johan Galtung is a peace
activist which often confronted with facts that put the violence of men as
perpetrators and women as victims, although it did not rule out women who are
also perpetrators of violence. Therefore Johan Galtung found it necessary to
include gender aspects in his study of violence. The research method used is a
qualitative method, with literature study used secondary data from books,
journals, documents, articles and internet data.
As the result on this research found that there are similarities as to whether
Johan Galtung thought with numerous streams of feminism that never existed.
Telling about direct violence, Johan Galtung puts women at enmity with men. On
the other hand, the structure and culture of patriarchy that exist in society also
become violent themselves, where the structure of the harsh, legitimized by
cultural violence makes violent surroundings. In its efforts to realize peace, Johan
Galtung want the equality between the sexes, where there is cooperation and a
balance of roles between men and women who all of them lead to the peace
process.
