Abstract
Human rights as basic rights that are inherently inherent in human
beings are universal, need to be protected, respected, and defended, so that
the protection and human rights of vulnerable groups, especially persons with
disabilities, must be protected. Respect, Protection, and Fulfillment of the
Rights of Persons with Disabilities is an obligation of the state in accordance
with Article 28 B paragraph (2) of the Constitution of the Republic of
Indonesia 1945 which states "Every child has the right to survival, growth
and development, and the right to protection from violence and
discrimination". Persons with Disabilities have experienced a lot of
discrimination which has resulted in the unfulfilled implementation of the
rights of Persons with Disabilities. The number of cases of molestation with
children as victims is often found in the midst of society. This study aims to
answer and explain the Implementation of the Responsibility of the Women's
Empowerment and Child Protection Office for the Protection of Children with
Disabilities Victims of Abuse. The research method used is an empirical
juridical research method, namely literature and field legal research that uses
legal materials in the form of legislation and legal facts that occur in the
field. The results of the study show that the Protection of the Women's
Empowerment and Child Protection Office of the Women's Empowerment and Child
Protection Office (DP3A) for Children with Disabilities Victims of Abuse based
on Law Number 8 of 2016 concerning Persons with Disabilities, Article 5
Paragraphs (2) and (3) contain special rights for women and children with
disabilities, including protection from discrimination, neglect, harassment,
exploitation, as well as violence and sexual crimes. These rights are
guaranteed to ensure that children with disabilities who are victims of abuse
receive more specific and effective protection. The protection of the Women's
Empowerment and Child Protection Office for children with disabilities victims
of abuse includes efforts to prevent, assist, rehabilitate, and reintegrate
socially, as well as more specific legal protection to ensure the rights of
children with disabilities victims of abuse. The efforts of the Women's
Empowerment and Child Protection Office in fulfilling the rights of children
with disabilities victims of abuse are in the form of Mentoring, Socialization
and forming forums, the Form of PPA Task Force, Victims' Home Visits, and Data
Collection. The Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Office has made great
efforts in providing legal protection and assistance to children with
disabilities who are victims of sexual acts. The responsibilities of the
Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Office for Children with Disabilities
Victims of Abuse refer to Article 4 of the PPA Ministerial Regulation No. 4 of
2018 and carry out its responsibilities as stated in Ministerial Regulation
Number 2 of 2022 concerning Service Standards for Women's Empowerment and Child
Protection. It is recommended to provide more understanding to parents and the
surrounding community in their responsibility to provide protection to each
child, and to provide adequate infrastructure and budget so that the
underprivileged community can meet the needs of services, such as safe houses
which are important to provide quality services. Furthermore, there needs to be
good cooperation between the government, child protection institutions, the
police, parents and the community in providing protection for children with
disabilities who are victims of abuse. Finally, it is necessary to have a
Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children
(UPTD PPA) in each district to carry out operational technical activities in
their respective work areas.
