STRATEGI DINAS PEMBERDAYAAN PEREMPUAN DAN PERLINDUNGAN ANAK KOTA BEKASI DALAM PENCEGAHAN PERNIKAHAN ANAK DI BAWAH UMUR DI KOTA BEKASI

Abstrak / Ringkasan

Child marriage remains one of the child protection issues in Bekasi City, requiring preventive strategies involving various stakeholders. This study aims to analyze the strategy of the Bekasi City Office of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (DPPPA) in preventing child marriage and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. This study employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, with DPPPA Bekasi City as the main focus, while PUSPAGA, the Bekasi City Aisyiyah Regional Leadership, the Bekasi Religious Court, and an informant who experienced marriage at a young age served as supporting sources of information. The study used the strategic management theory of Wheelen and Hunger, which consists of environmental scanning, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and evaluation and control. The results showed that DPPPA Bekasi City has carried out preventive efforts through the identification of contributing factors, education, socialization, counseling, monitoring, assistance, counseling services, and cross-sectoral coordination. However, a program specifically directed at preventing child marriage was still in the preparation stage. The supporting factors include cross-sectoral cooperation, educational and socialization activities, counseling and assistance services, as well as the involvement of community organizations and families. The inhibiting factors include limited budget and human resources, the influence of the social environment and media, and unequal program coverage. Therefore, the strategy implemented by DPPPA Bekasi City has been carried out through various child protection activities, but further strengthening of coordination, resources, educational outreach, data collection, and evaluation is needed to support a more integrated and sustainable approach to preventing child marriage.
