Penguatan Ekonomi Warga Desa Jambu dan Pencegahan Pernikahan Dini melalui Pendekatan Dialog Partisipatif Berbasis Masyarakat

Abstract

Women’s empowerment is an important strategy to strengthen family economic resilience and prevent early marriage in rural communities. The Community Service Program (KKN) in Jambu Village carried the theme of dialogue and solutions for strengthening the local economy through the distribution of suggestion boxes to identify community problems, especially among single-parent women and the elderly. The findings showed that economic limitations were the main issue that could potentially encourage early marriage. Through socialization activities and participatory dialogue, this program increased public awareness of the importance of economic independence and encouraged women to explore their potential for entrepreneurship in order to achieve prosperous and sustainable families
