Abstract

Sexual violence against girls constitutes a serious violation of human rights, with profound physical, psychological, and social consequences that require comprehensive and sustained responses. Within this context, such violence is closely linked to gendered power relations and vulnerabilities shaping girl’s experiences and recovery processes. This study aims to examine social work practice and communication in social rehabilitation for girl survivors of sexual violence at a Handayani Jakarta Service Center in Indonesia. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving five purposively selected informants, consisting of three social workers, one acting head of the center, and one administrative head; data were analyzed through reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that social rehabilitation is implemented through stages including assessment, service planning, interventions across family, community, and residential settings, as well as monitoring and post-service support, with social workers performing on practice and communication within a survivor-centered approach. The study concludes that strengthening professional capacity, cross-sector coordination, and inclusive strategies is essential to support the sustainable recovery of girl survivors.

Abstract

Female-headed households represent one of the most economically and psychosocially vulnerable groups in Indonesia; however, their internal coping capacities remain insufficiently explored within the social welfare literature. This study investigates how self-esteem and social support shape the problem-solving capacity of poor female-headed households in Bandung Regency, West Java, Indonesia. A qualitative descriptive-explanatory case study design was employed, with data gathered through in-depth interviews with ten purposively selected primary informants prioritizing information-rich cases, two focus group discussion sessions, and participant observation. Data were analyzed using theory-guided thematic analysis following the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, and validated through source triangulation and member-checking procedures. The findings reveal that informants experienced a severe collapse of self-esteem and social misrecognition during the initial transition following spousal loss, further exacerbated by stigma within patriarchal rural communities. Active involvement in the Pekka Union served as a radical psychosocial turning point, reconstructing self-esteem through collective recognition and skill mastery. Social support emerged as the most dominant force shaping problem-solving capacity, substantially exceeding the contribution of self-esteem. These findings challenge deficit-oriented perspectives and affirm that resilience among female-headed households is relational and collectively constructed. Social welfare interventions should therefore adopt strengths-based and feminist empowerment strategies.

Abstract

This study examines the social readiness of women beneficiaries transitioning from conditional cash assistance under the Family Hope Program (PKH) to productive entrepreneurship through the Indonesian Archipelago Economic Heroes Program (PENA) in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the study involved ten women beneficiaries selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis and were analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s interactive model and Creswell’s horizonalization technique. The findings reveal that social readiness is ambivalent and manifested across four interconnected dimensions: emotive-attitudinal, cognitive, behavioral, and aspirational readiness. Social accompaniment helped transform transitional anxiety into achievement motivation, although cognitive readiness remained limited by low micro-financial literacy. Women demonstrated strong work resilience, but their behavioral readiness was constrained by the double burden and unequal distribution of domestic labor. The beneficiaries also expressed a need for continued technical assistance and more accessible financing. Feminist social work analysis confirms that these limitations are shaped more by time poverty and patriarchal inequalities than by individual shortcomings.

Abstract

Stunting and the low quality of child parenting remain major challenges in family development in rural areas, particularly due to limited access to information, low health literacy, and the persistence of traditional parenting practices. This condition was also identified in Sukaraja Village, Kuningan Regency, where many families still had limited understanding regarding stunting prevention and responsive child parenting. This community service program aimed to develop a community-based model for strengthening women’s and family capacities through a participatory approach to support stunting prevention and child parenting improvement. The program was implemented in RW 01 of Sukaraja Village in August 2025 using the Participatory Technology Development (PTD) approach. The implementation methods included coordination with village authorities and posyandu cadres, participatory assessment through Focus Group Discussion (FGD), community-based intervention planning, educational and training activities, and monitoring through cadre assistance. The results showed an increase in participants’ understanding of the importance of the First 1,000 Days of Life, responsive parenting practices, nutritional fulfillment, sanitation, and stunting prevention. Participants also began applying positive communication patterns in child parenting and utilizing local food resources as affordable nutritional alternatives for families. This program demonstrates that a community-based participatory approach can strengthen the capacities of women and families in creating a healthy, responsive, and sustainable parenting environment as part of local efforts to accelerate stunting reduction.
