The results showed that the handling of woman trafficking cases carried out by DP3A has run optimally when viewed from the handling of cases carried out such as existing policies, strategies carried out, communication and case resolution. However, in terms of therapy or assistance to the victim, it is not optimal. This is what can hinder the success of the handling of woman trafficking cases carried out by DP3A and needs to get an evaluation to be better in the future.
