Abstract: Women victims of Domestic violence might experience high anxiety, prolonged depression and suicide attempts. The significant impacts are big challenges for nurses to work with community leaders and the government in handling domestic violence against women. The purpose of this research is to explore the experiences of community leaders in handling women victims of domestic violence in Indonesia. This qualitative study uses data collection with the Focus Group Discussions(FGD)method. Participants in this study were 12 community leaders. The study found that several parties involved in handling women victims of domestic violence include community leaders, religious leaders, and related agencies. Those who first handle domestic violence involve relevant stakeholders in a hierarchy and act as buffers or mediators. The results of this study indicate that the role of community leaders in handling women of domestic violence must be continuously improved so that women of domestic violence receive protection and support to improve coping mechanisms and adaptation.
