Koordinasi Dinas Pemberdayaan Perempuan Perlindungan Anak Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Pengendalian Penduduk dan Keluarga Berencana (DP3APMP2KB) dalam Penanggulangan Kekerasan terhadap Anak di Kota Medan

Abstract

The coordinative role of Department of Women Empowerment, Child Protection, Community Empowerment, Population Control, and Family Planning (DP3APMP2KB) Kota Medan is highly important. The coordination carried out by DP3APMP2KB with various parties such as the police, hospitals, UPTD PPA, P2TP2A, and psychological and legal assistance institutions is the key to efforts in tackling child abuse. Through a systematic cross-sector coordination mechanism, DP3APMP2KB strives to ensure that case handling is conducted quickly, integrated, and responsive to the needs of victims. The research method used in this study is qualitative descriptive research, with data collection techniques including direct observation, in-depth interviews, literature studies, and detailed document analysis. This research was conducted at the DP3APMP2KB office in Medan City. The research informants consisted of the Head of UPTD PPA DP3APMP2KB Kota Medan, the Division of Women's Rights and Child Protection Kota Medan, Banit PPA Polrestabes Kota Medan, PPA Task Force DP3APMP2KB Kota Medan, and the community. The results show that coordination between DP3APMP2KB and the police in tackling child abuse has been running quite well, especially in terms of unity of action, division of labor, and discipline. However, the communication indicator is not yet optimal due to barriers in information delivery and the lack of regular communication forums between institutions. Therefore, improvements in communication are needed to make coordination more effective in protecting children in Medan City.
