dc.description.abstract | Child marriage is one of the serious problems faced by Bondowoso Regency. As
a district with the lowest economic level and high child marriage rates, the quality
of life and generations in Bondowoso Regency are threatened and vulnerable
because of socio-economic problems such as poverty and high divorce rates,
health problems such as increased maternal and child mortality, increased stunting
rates, and malnutrition. One of the villages in Bondowoso which has problems
with child marriage is Mengen Village. To overcome these problems, the
Department of Social Affairs of Bondowoso which focused on the empowerment
of women and protection for children (P3AKB) launched the Women's School
program to improve the quality of life or Sekolah Perempuan Peningkatan Kualitas
Hidup (SEKOPER PKH) which aims to improve the quality of PKH (Program
Keluarga Harapan, Government Incentive Program) beneficiaries. SEKOPER
PKH has been up and running since 2018 and focuses on household financial
management. The presence of a community development grant scheme by the
Institute for Research and Community Service (LP2M) University of Jember can
help solve the problem of child marriage in Bondowoso. The approach used to
solve this is the grounded method with the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) method
to collect data and evidence as the basis for preparing textbooks and modules.
After the module and reference book has been published, the team will conduct
Training of Trainers (ToT) to improve the ability of teaching for voluntary
teachers. When the voluntary teachers have the ability to teach and implement the
teaching module properly, the module will be implemented to the PKH
beneficiaries. | en_US |
