Implementation of Prevention of Violence Against Women in Tanjungpinang City

Abstract

Violence against women is still a significant problem in Tanjungpinang City even though various policies have been implemented to prevent it. Lack of public awareness, weak coordination between agencies, and limited resources are the main obstacles in implementing this policy. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the strategy of the Women's Empowerment, Child Protection, and Community Empowerment Service (DP3APM) in reducing violence against women in Tanjungpinang City. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection through interviews with DP3APM, observations of programs being run, and documentation studies of applicable policies. Data analysis techniques are carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions to understand the effectiveness of the strategies implemented. The results of the study show that DP3APM has implemented various strategies, such as increasing public awareness through socialization, strengthening protection services for victims, and cooperation with various related parties. However, there are still obstacles in its implementation, such as limited budget and human resources, and low community participation in the programs being run. In conclusion, although DP3APM has a fairly good strategy in preventing violence against women, its implementation still faces various challenges. Improved coordination between government agencies, strengthening the role of the community, and more adequate budget allocation are needed so that the designed strategy can run more effectively
