Gender-based violence against women and children is a serious problem in Indonesia that reflects the inequality of social structures and the weakness of legal implementation. This study aims to examine the extent to which the Indonesian legal system is able to provide fair, equal, and gender-responsive protection to victims of violence, as well as assess the challenges in its application. The type of research used is a normative-critical study with a Feminist Legal Theory approach. The results of the analysis show that although there are regulatory advances such as the TPKS Law and the Presidential Instruction on Gender Mainstreaming, their application is still biased, not victim-friendly, and lacks a gender perspective. In conclusion, the law in Indonesia has not fully guaranteed substantive justice for victims. Therefore, it is recommended that legal reforms based on victims' experiences, increasing the capacity of law enforcement officials, and strengthening victim service institutions to encourage inclusive and transformative justice.

Adaptive approach is an intervention strategy that places the unique needs of each child with mild autism as the center of attention, so that learning and therapy methods are flexibly adjusted to individual characteristics and abilities. This literature review examines how adaptive approach can increase the independence of children with mild autism through the active role of parents and the implementation of structured daily activities. Parents act as the main partners in the learning process, not only providing emotional support, but also becoming facilitators who help children apply the skills learned at school into everyday life at home. Structured daily activities provide clear and consistent routines, helping children understand and anticipate activities, thereby reducing anxiety and increasing focus in carrying out tasks. Stimulus-response techniques are an effective method in developing children's adaptive behavior, with positive reinforcement that motivates children to continue learning and repeating independent behavior. Close collaboration between teachers, therapists, and parents creates an adaptive and consistent learning environment, which allows children to develop independence gradually and sustainably. This study confirms that holistic interventions involving full support from parents and the implementation of structured daily activities are the keys to success in increasing the independence of children with mild autism.

This study aims to analyze the influence of interaction between parents on children's emotional development. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach based on literature studies in the past five years, the study found that interactions that include communication, parenting, and emotional support play a very important role. These aspects contribute to the formation of the child's emotional regulation, self-confidence, and social skills. This study makes a significant conceptual contribution to the development of emotionally sensitive parenting strategies. Children who experience positive interactions in their family environment tend to show good emotional balance and adaptive social skills. Conversely, negative interaction patterns can trigger problems such as anxiety, aggressiveness, and difficulty socializing. In addition, factors such as parental stress, lack of understanding of emotions, and excessive use of technology play a role in affecting the quality of the relationship. The findings of this study emphasize the importance of parental involvement in emotionally aware parenting practices to support children's growth and development. The study also highlights the need for social support and ongoing education for parents, in order to build an emotionally healthy family environment. It is hoped that the results of this study can be the basis for the development of family education programs and parenting policies based on scientific approaches.

This study aims to explore the Role of Pastoral Counseling in the Independence of Children with Special Needs at Rumah Pengharapan Baru (RPB) West Bandung. Qualitative methods were used to collect data through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, involving pastoral counselors, Rumah Pengharapan Baru staff, and children with special needs. The results of the study indicate that pastoral counseling plays a significant role in increasing the independence of children with special needs, covering emotional, spiritual, and social aspects that support the development of independent living skills. Pastoral counselors function as companions and facilitators who help children understand and accept their condition, build self-confidence, and motivate them to achieve their maximum potential. A holistic and personal counseling approach and ongoing support from the Rumah Pengharapan Baru environment are effective in strengthening the independence of these children. This study concludes that children with special needs need intensive assistance and holistic care. Pastoral counseling plays an important role in providing emotional and spiritual support, helping them overcome anxiety and low self-esteem. Professional counselors who are caring and compassionate are the foundation of this ministry, ensuring that the emotional, psychological, and spiritual needs of children are met in a balanced manner.

This study is a descriptive qualitative study that aims to describe sexual education provided by parents at Taman Firdaus Christian Kindergarten, Balige, North Sumatra. Data were obtained through direct interviews with the Principal, teachers, and several parents. The results showed that teachers and parents at Taman Firdaus Christian Kindergarten had provided basic teaching about the physical differences between boys and girls. However, an explanation of the genitals and their names had not been given because it was considered inappropriate for the age of the children. The main focus of teaching was on norms of politeness and privacy, although a comprehensive understanding of sexuality had not been achieved. Understanding of boundaries and privacy was taught by emphasizing the importance of maintaining privacy, such as not showing genitals to the opposite sex and maintaining physical distance. However, there were challenges such as the limitations of school policies in separating boys' and girls' toilets. The use of appropriate language in sexual education has been carried out well, although consistency in the school environment and at home needs to be improved. Parental involvement in children's sexual education is considered important, but there are obstacles in the form of parental discomfort in discussing sexuality topics with their children at home. The descriptive approach in this qualitative study aims to describe in detail the events, phenomena, and social situations that are the focus of the study. Analysis is carried out by giving meaning, interpreting, and comparing the data obtained to gain a deep understanding of the subject being studied.

Work accidents when entering enclosed spaces (water ballast tank) pose a high risk that can endanger the safety of ship crew. This study aims to identify: 1) the factors causing work accidents during entry into the enclosed space (water ballast tank) on MT. Emmanuel; and 2) efforts to minimize the risk of such accidents. This research was conducted over 12 months during onboard practical training on MT. Emmanuel using fishbone analysis as the data analysis technique. Based on the analysis, accident causes include worker overconfidence, non-compliance with the permit to enter procedures, lack of oxygen and toxic gas monitoring, and poor communication among crew members. Suggested measures to minimize accidents are the regular implementation of safety meetings, internal sanctions for SOP violators, periodic drills for entering hazardous spaces, and disciplined enforcement of the permit to enter in accordance with ISGOTT 5th Edition Chapter 10 standards. The implementation of these steps is expected to improve crew safety and reduce the risk of accidents in enclosed spaces.

This study aims to examine how the stories of the prophets in the Qur’an can serve as an effective medium for character building in children from an early age. The research is motivated by the growing need for character education amidst the moral challenges of modern times, and by the strong potential of prophetic stories to convey Islamic values such as honesty, patience, responsibility, and monotheism. A qualitative approach was employed through a literature review method. The findings indicate that the stories of Prophet Musa (Moses), Ibrahim (Abraham), Muhammad, and Yunus (Jonah) contain relevant and applicable character values for children. By presenting moral teachings through storytelling, these narratives allow children to internalize values in an engaging and meaningful way. When delivered according to the child’s developmental stage, prophetic stories become an educational tool that effectively nurtures religious, responsible, and noble character. This study is expected to contribute to the development of Islamic value-based character education models in both family and formal educational settings.

Language skills are an important aspect in early childhood growth and development because they are the basis for building communication, developing mindsets, and interacting with others. The purpose of this study is to reveal the role of audio-visual media in supporting the improvement of early childhood language skills in Kusuma Cendekia Kindergarten. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that the use of audio-visual media, such as children's songs, educational animations, and illustrated stories, is able to encourage increased vocabulary mastery, fluency in speaking, and children's courage in communicating. The media is considered effective because it is able to present interesting, concrete, and interactive learning, and is in harmony with the developmental stage of children aged 5-6 years. Teachers also apply strategies such as singing together, role-playing, and retelling the content of the video to strengthen children's language mastery. Nonetheless, some obstacles were found, such as the limitations of facilities and challenges in selecting the right content. The results of this study recommend the use of audio-visual media as one of the creative and fun learning tools in the early childhood education environment.

This study explores the implementation of dance learning and its impact on motor skill development in early childhood at RA Al-Ikhlasiyah 2 Medan. The research is grounded in the understanding that dance activities contribute significantly to children's gross and fine motor coordination, emotional expression, and self-confidence. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach through observations, interviews with teachers, and documentation of dance sessions. Findings revealed that dance learning was not conducted regularly, but rather situationally ahead of graduation events, with limited integration into daily curriculum. The instructional method mainly involved direct demonstration and repetitive practice, which limited children's opportunities for exploration and creative expression. However, most children responded positively, showing enthusiasm and progress in movement coordination and group participation. Teachers played a key role in motivating children, although time constraints and lack of curriculum support posed challenges. The study concludes that dance learning, when implemented as a structured and routine activity, holds great potential in supporting holistic child development. The research also suggests future efforts to design integrative thematic dance modules and teacher training for sustainable early childhood arts education.

This study aims to determine the effect of understanding inclusive education on the readiness to teach children with special needs (ABK) in prospective Indonesian language teachers. The research method used is quantitative research with an associative approach, using a questionnaire instrument to measure the level of understanding of inclusive education and readiness to teach ABK. The results of the study indicate that there is a significant relationship between understanding of inclusive education and readiness to teach ABK in prospective Indonesian language teachers. A comprehensive understanding of inclusive education is an important foundation in improving the pedagogical, professional, personality, and social competencies of prospective teachers. However, the survey results show that the ability to plan lessons, readiness to teach, and readiness to create ABK-friendly learning tools are still relatively low. The main challenges faced by prospective teachers are the lack of practical experience, the lack of examples of inclusive open materials, and the continuing stigma against ABK. Therefore, a strategy is needed to improve the understanding of inclusive education through curriculum integration, field experience, and the development of inclusive teaching materials so that the readiness to teach ABK in prospective Indonesian language teachers can be optimally increased.

Children are the next generation and the hope for the nation's future. However, not all children have the opportunity to grow up in a complete and supportive family environment. The Menara Kasih Indonesia Orphanage Foundation serves as a social solution for children who have lost their parents or are in a state of neglect. This research aims to examine how the background, social services, and caregiving patterns are implemented in this orphanage. The methods used were literature study, descriptive qualitative with observation, and direct interviews with the orphanage administrators and one of the children from the orphanage. The research results show that this orphanage applies a warm and supportive familial parenting style, where the staff actively play the role not only as parental substitutes but also as companions in the children's learning process. The caretakers help the children with their schoolwork and provide emotional support. However, in terms of funding and facilities, the Menara Kasih Indonesia Orphanage Foundation still has limitations.

The phenomenon of street children, vagrants, and beggars is still a fairly complex social problem in Pasuruan City. The Pasuruan City Government has issued Regional Regulation Number 7 of 2021 as an effort to overcome the existence of street children, vagrants and beggars who are considered to disturb public order. This study aims to determine how the policy is implemented and identify supporting and inhibiting factors for its implementation. This study uses a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach and uses the Van Metter and Van Horn policy implementation theory as the basis for analysis. The results of the study show that although the policy has fairly clear standards and targets, its implementation has not been optimal due to the lack of resources, the unavailability of special rehabilitation facilities in Pasuruan City, and the weak ongoing commitment of the implementers. Coordination between implementing agencies is also not fully synergistic. Therefore, the successful implementation of this Regional Regulation requires improvements in aspects of resources, rehabilitation facilities, and strengthening cross-agency cooperation. A stronger commitment is needed from the local government so that handling street children, vagrants and beggars can be carried out more comprehensively and sustainably.
