Dampak KDRT Terhadap Anak Dan Peran Lembaga Perlindungan Dalam Perspektif Disfungsi Keluarga

Abstract

This study is motivated by the high incidence of domestic violence, which reflects dysfunction within the family as a fundamental social unit. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of domestic violence on children as a form of family dysfunction and to examine the role and challenges of women and child protection institutions in addressing these issues. This study employs a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving informants from relevant institutions, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that domestic violence has significant physical and psychological impacts on victims, particularly children, and hinders character development and socialization processes. Protection institutions play a crucial role as a social response by substituting dysfunctional family roles; however, they still face various challenges, including victim-related factors, social stigma, and limited facilities. This study highlights the importance of strengthening institutional roles and adopting a comprehensive approach to effectively address domestic violence and maintain social system stability..
