EDUKASI PENCEGAHAN PERNIKAHAN USIA ANAK MELALUI PENAYANGAN SHORT MOVIE BERJUDUL TULAQ DI DESA LANGKO, LOMBOK BARAT

Abstract

Child marriage is still a social problem and a major challenge in Indonesia, especially in areas such as West Lombok. Based on this, a community service project by Langkah Muda was carried out in Langko Village, West Lombok, showing a short film entitled "Tulaq" as an educational medium in one of the socialization activities aimed at educating the community, especially teenagers, about preventing child marriage. This initiative is in line with the efforts of the local government, especially the GAMAK (Anti Merariq Kodeq Movement) program which has been running since 2015. This activity was carried out in Langko Village and succeeded in attracting 250 participants including village officials to the main target of education, namely teenagers. The method used in this socialization was the screening of a short film, followed by an interactive discussion with the Women and Children Empowerment Service (DP2KBP3A). This project involved pre-test and post-test surveys to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. The results showed a significant increase in understanding from 22.82% to 60.10% about the risks and consequences of child marriage. This increase in numbers shows that education through film media is very effective in conveying messages to prevent child marriage.
