Edukasi Pencegahan Kekerasan Seksual Terhadap Anak Di Sekolah Dasar Negeri 4 Menteng Palangka Raya

Sexual violence against children is a form of violation of children's rights that has serious impacts on the physical, psychological, and social development of victims. Children's limited understanding of self-protection makes them particularly vulnerable to sexual violence. Therefore, preventive efforts through education from an early age are essential. This Community Service Program aimed to increase the knowledge and awareness of female elementary school students regarding the prevention of sexual violence. The activity was conducted at SD Negeri 4 Menteng, Palangka Raya, involving 80 female students. The methods included interactive lectures, presentation of materials using illustrated media, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and ice-breaking activities through the educational song "Ini Area Privasiku" ("This Is My Private Area") as a medium to reinforce students' understanding of private body parts and self-protection. Evaluation was conducted through observation of participants' involvement and direct questioning throughout the activity. The results showed that the participants actively and enthusiastically engaged in all stages of the program and demonstrated improved understanding of private body parts, the distinction between safe and unsafe touch, the courage to refuse inappropriate actions, and the importance of reporting incidents to trusted adults. This activity is expected to contribute to efforts to prevent sexual violence against children and strengthen a culture of child protection within the school environment.
