Abstract

In particular, handling children's problems is included in the social rehabilitation sector which is under the Social Rehabilitation Section for Children and the Elderly Outside of Homes and/or Institutions, although it is also related to other sections within the Medan City Social Service. The importance of this study is to carry out integration between the concept of human rights in the global context and human rights in Islam. It still needs to be reduced to an integrated child protection concept, so that it can be implemented in the form of policies in the local context, especially in the field of social welfare. To derive these two concepts, a systems approach is needed that can explain the position and role of the CRC and Islamic law in child protection and the role of the Medan City Government, especially within the Medan City Social Service, in implementing existing policies. This research uses a qualitative approach to describe and analyze how Islamic law and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) view child protection from their respective perspectives and will then be analyzed as a whole. The role of the Medan City Social Service relating to the field of child protection is carried out through the duties of the Social Rehabilitation Sector, in point (g) that "Guidance, development and control of social service efforts in the field of social rehabilitation services for street children, abandoned children, delinquent children and service provision for neglected elderly people and social rehabilitation of delinquent children.
