ABSTRACT
The purpose of the current study was to analyze the determinant factors that affect the implementation of the Protection of Women and Children Policy in the Office of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection in Makassar City. This study method used a descriptive qualitative approach through case studies. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. This study has identified that the factors that hindered the implementation of this policy were institutional weaknesses that lay in the lack of supporting facilities for P2TP2A (Integrated Service Center for the Empowerment of Women and Children) and Rapid Reaction Team (TRC) as well as residents' shelters which have countless formalities. In addition, the participation of private companies and citizens in the socialization of prevention is still pretty low. This study is intended to increase the entities that are responsible for implementing the protection policies for women and children, particularly the P2TP2A Team (Integrated Service Center for the Empowerment of Women and Children) and the Rapid Reaction Team (TRC) including residents’ shelters in the context of accessibility of funds, infrastructure, and technical authority in collaboration and innovation.
