Abstrak
Premarital sex among adolescents is a social problem that has the potential to cause negative impacts. Planned and sustained prevention efforts are carried out through the Generasi Berencana (Planned Generation) community. This study aims to analyze the strategies of the Generasi Berencana program in addressing premarital sex among adolescents through the Zero to Hero program in Jepara Regency. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results show that the Zero to Hero program strategy is implemented through stages according to continuous age segmentation, thereby forming attitudes and values for future planning, as well as strengthening the role of adolescents as agents of change for Indonesia Emas 2045. This strategy contributes to increasing adolescents' knowledge, awareness, and attitudes towards the risks of premarital sex. The Zero to Hero program is a community program that can help reduce the rate of early marriage. However, its implementation still faces obstacles in the form of limited facilities and adolescent interest in the program. Therefore, strengthening cross-sectoral support is needed so that this strategy can run more optimally.
