Abstract

The existence of abandoned children who are victims of economic exploitation in Gorontalo City is very worrying because many cases related to violence and guarantees of human rights to children are not fulfilled. This study aims to describe the fulfillment of the constitutional rights of abandoned children as victims of economic exploitation and the factors that cause them. The approach of this writing is the statutory approach and the case approach. The results showed that the fulfillment of children’s rights in Gorontalo City was carried out through assessment efforts, Regional Apparatus Organizational Cooperation (OPD), implementation of raids and interventions, provision of protective cars (Mobil Keliling) and mobile motorbikes (Motor Keliling), and the use of shelter facilities. Inhibiting factors for the fulfillment of rights include the economic difficulties of parents, education for children and families has not been enough to help, for reasons of carrying out economic activities on their desires and demands. The findings of this study are the absence of regulations in the form of regional regulations that legalize repressive actions. The Regional Integrated Service Unit (UPTD) is not yet autonomous, causing less effective intervention or PKH and other assistance is only incidental and do not meet needs. It is necessary to intervene in the village by forming child facilitators to help coordinate and communicate with the government to facilitate rehabilitation, economic, psychological, and other counseling activities.
