Intimate Partner Domestic Violence (IPDV) remains a persistent public health issue in Indonesia, yet national data systems documenting domestic violence are fragmented across institutions. This study aims to identify the factors associated with vulnerability to IPDV among married women in Indonesia and to analyze the distribution of IPDV cases in Indonesia based on annual reports and case reports. The quantitative component analysed 31,011 married women aged 15–49 years from the IDHS 2017 dataset. A descriptive assessment was conducted using a vulnerability index constructed from key demographic, autonomy, household, and structural indicators aligned with the B-SAFER conceptual framework. The desk review synthesized annual reports from the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (MoWECP), the National Commission on Violence Against Women (CATAHU), and the Supreme Court of Indonesia to examine institutional trends by violence type and geographic distribution. Quantitative descriptive findings indicated that 57.6% of women were categorized as less vulnerable and 42.4% as more vulnerable to IPDV. Respondents’ average age was 35.7 years, and most had secondary education (52.5%) and married at age ≥19 years (63.3%). High autonomy was reported by 89.1%, while 62.0% had health insurance and 60.9% had high media exposure. Desk review findings reveal divergent institutional patterns such as MoWECP reports a consistent rise in physical, psychological, and sexual violence from 2016–2024, CATAHU displayed sharp fluctuations reflecting service-based reporting variability and Supreme Court records show only a very small proportion of cases progressing to litigation. Physical and sexual violence dominate across datasets, with higher concentrations in densely populated provinces. The combined descriptive results demonstrate that women’s vulnerability to IPDV is shaped by structural, demographic, and service-access factors, while desk review patterns highlight major disparities in national reporting systems. Strengthening integrated data systems and victim support structures is essential for improving IPDV prevention and response. Keywords: Vulnerability, IPDV in Indonesia, IPDV index, Married women
