The Child-Friendly Cities Program was issued by Regulation of the Minister of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection of the Republic of Indonesia Number 11 of 2011 concerning the Child-Friendly District/City Development Policy. The Child-Friendly City Program is implemented to fulfill the rights and protect children. However, there are still problems with the implementation of the Child-Friendly Cities Program, namely: the lack of completeness of data for making birth certificates because the community still lacks knowledge about making birth certificates. There are still high numbers of cases of malnutrition and under-five malnutrition, and supervision of smoking free areas is still weak. In this way, this study aims to describe the implementation of the Child-Friendly City Program in creating child protection in Medan City (Study on Cluster 1 Civil Rights and Freedom and Cluster 3 Basic Health and Welfare).
