Factors Influencing the Effectiveness of the Implementation of Policies for Handling Sexual Violence Against Women and Children at the Department of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection, Population Control and Family Planning of Southeast Sulawesi

This study analyzes factors influencing the effectiveness of implementing policies for handling sexual violence against women and children at the Office of Women’s Empowerment, Child Protection, and Family Planning (DP3APPKB) of Southeast Sulawesi. An analytical cross-sectional design was used and conducted in December 2025, involving 99 respondents through total sampling, including internal DP3APPKB personnel, field officers/companions, cross-sector partners, and the Children’s Forum. The examined variables were communication, resources, disposition (implementers’ attitudes), bureaucratic structure, and patriarchal culture. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis, bivariate chi-square tests, and multivariate logistic regression, with candidate variables selected at p<0.25. Logistic regression results indicated that patriarchal culture was excluded from the final model due to having the largest p-value in the initial modeling (0.088). The final model confirms that communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure significantly influence implementation effectiveness, with resources identified as the most dominant factor (largest OR).
