Child protection is a sustainable effort to free children from various forms of violence and discrimination. One form of violence against children that is currently widespread in East Halmahera is rape. Based on facts in the field, cases of violence show that every year the number of sexual violence cases increases. This research aims to 1) describe the role of the church in responding to cases of violence in Buli, East Halmahera, 2) to describe the factors causing cases of child violence in Buli, East Halmahera. 3) to find out efforts to respond to cases of sexual harassment violence in the perspective of the role of the church and the Buli indigenous community in East Halmahera.

The conclusion is that the role of the church and culture from a traditional perspective has played its role but has not been optimal in responding to sexual violence that occurs.

During the 2016-2020 period, there were at least 5,200 cases of crimes against morality each year. According to Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the highest number of cases was reported in 2020, with a total of 6,872 cases. Cases of sexual violence, such as rape and child molestation, dominated during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to data from the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI), there were 419 cases of children in conflict with the law (ABH) due to sexual violence in 2020. The National Commission on Violence Against Women (Komnas Perempuan) noted that sexual molestation was the most common form of sexual violence against women in the personal sphere in 2020, accounting for 20.8% of all cases of sexual violence in the personal sphere throughout the year. The crime of sexual molestation is defined as a physical sexual assault, but not penetration. The Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (PPPA) recorded 10,247 cases of violence against women throughout 2021, of which 15.2% were sexual violence. Women and children are the most likely targets of these crimes. The total number of cases of gender-based violence (GBV) against women in the personal sphere reported to Komnas Perempuan reached 2,527 in 2021. Throughout 2021, there were 3,838 cases of violence against women reported to Komnas Perempuan. Of that number, the majority of victims were from Generation Z (born 1995-2010). The most common types of cases were: (1) Violence by ex-boyfriends, reaching 813 cases. This number is equivalent to 32.2% of the total KBG in the personal sphere reported to the National Commission on Violence Against Women; (2) Violence against wives, totaling 771 cases (30.5%), followed by violence in relationships, totaling 463 cases (18.3%), and violence against girls, totaling 212 cases (8.4%). (3) Violence by other perpetrators in personal relationships within the household, totaling 171 cases, violence by ex-husbands, totaling 92 cases, and violence against domestic workers, totaling 5 cases. Reports of violence received by the police in the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic were the highest since 2016. By gender, the majority of victims reporting violence in 2020 were male, at 58.67%, while female victims reported only 44.58%. The majority of sexual violence cases in Indonesia end without certainty. This is because 57% of sexual violence victims admit there is no resolution to their cases. The solutions are: (1) Paying the victim a sum of money. This is as stated by 39.9% of sexual violence victims; (2) 26.2% of victims eventually marry the perpetrator. Only 19.2% of victims successfully defend their sexual violence cases, resulting in the perpetrators ending up in prison.

Cases of violence against children are still common in school environments, even the perpetrators themselves are school residents. Cases of violence include emotional violence, verbal violence, physical violence, and sexual violence. Child-Friendly Schools are set up in an effort to reduce cases of child abuse and as a form of state, a responsibility to fulfill the rights of children as mandated in law no. 35 of 2014. In an effort to realize the Child-Friendly School on an ongoing and better basis, the community service team socialized the strategy and policy of child-friendly schools for PGSD students of Mataram University. PGSD students are chosen because they are prospective teachers who will definitely jump into the school.

The outside target or achievement of this socialization activity is improvement the understanding of students regarding child-friendly school policies and strategies.Keywords: socialization; violence; sra policy

Although regulations regarding child-friendly school policies have been made by the government since 2014. However, the reality is that we often find cases of violence against children in educational institutions covered by social media. Cases of violence that often occur in educational institutions include physical violence, sexual violence, and psychological violence. In this study, researchers were very interested and wanted to research teacher strategies for preventing acts of violence through child-friendly school programs. This aims to map teacher strategies from the results of research on child-friendly schools that have been conducted by several previous researchers. This study uses a qualitative approach with the method of a literature review or literature study. It is hoped that the results of this strategy mapping can be put to good use in the future by educational institutions in Indonesia to implement a child-friendly school program. The results of the study show that educational institutions that have implemented a child-friendly school program have tried to follow the rules by the six standard indicators set by the government. Teachers are required to carry out fun learning, invite students to actively participate, also provide more educational punishments if students make mistakes. Several educational institutions are also innovating by creating literacy activities, clean Fridays, strengthening character education, creating educational content for children through social media, and providing counseling services that students and parents can access.

The large number of child abuse rates in the school environment forces the government to make policies to tackle it. Through child-friendly schools, it will provide protection for children in educational units. Furthermore, this paper aims to give a solution through child-friendly school. Not only creating schools that are safe from violence, but child-friendly schools also provide opportunities for children to carry out enjoyable learning processes and strengthen children's character. Child friendly schools have provided legal protection for children's rights while in the education unit. Through a child friendly school program based on the principles of child protection and prioritizing the fulfillment of children's rights, it will be a solution for the government today in dealing with various forms of violence that occur in schools.

A BSTRACT Background: Sexual violence is a significant issue in India that frequently makes headlines. Research from various countries has identified shortcomings in media reporting on violence against women, such as victim-blaming, sensationalism, focusing on isolated incidents, and neglecting the broader societal context. These issues have led to the creation of numerous guidelines for media coverage of violence against women. However, there has been limited scholarly research on how the country’s media reports on sexual violence. Aim: To assess how these accounts of sexual violence in online news media reports portrayed the harmful and protective aspects of sexual violence. Material and Methods: A study was conducted on 240 cases of sexual violence reported in Indian online news sources, including 80 articles in English, 80 in Malayalam, and 80 in Hindi. Using a specially designed questionnaire based on the guidelines set forth by the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for reporting on such incidents in the media, the study focused on articles related to sexual violence that included keywords such as “sexual abuse or violence in India” or “rape in India.” These reports were then evaluated to identify both harmful and protective characteristics in the news coverage of sexual violence. Results: Media reporting on sexual violence in India often fails to follow established guidelines. Reports frequently included harmful details such as demographic information (gender, age, locality, location), explicit language, inappropriate images, and descriptions of the character of survivors and perpetrators. Common issues included myths of false allegations, sensationalism, dehumanizing perpetrators, speculative reasons for the violence, and the frequent use of the term “alleged.” Most reports did not include helpline information, research findings, statistical data, or disclaimers about protecting the victim’s identity. This highlights a significant gap in responsible and ethical reporting practices in India Conclusion: Indian digital news platforms must enhance their reporting standards on sexual violence. Accurate reporting is essential for advocating institutional changes, raising public awareness, and supporting survivors. The media can combat sexual violence by adhering to ethical values, amplifying marginalized voices, and fostering a culture of empathy and understanding.

Sexual violence in Indonesia has increased significantly, both in terms of quantity and quality. Through a report from the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (KemenPPPA), more than 9,600 cases of violence against children were recorded in the period from January to May 2023. This increasing trend is largely due to the increasing courage of victims to report the incident. The main focus of this case is sexual violence, which includes rape, molestation, and sexual exploitation. West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), as an example, recorded 188 cases of sexual violence against children in 2021-2022, with types of incidents including rape and molestation. Involving various impacts, sexual violence damages the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of the victim. Serious handling and in-depth understanding from various sectors are key to overcoming this problem. The involvement of Posyandu as a public health institution is a proactive solution to provide support and assistance to victims of sexual violence. Through training of Posyandu cadres in Banjar Village, Ampenan District, it is hoped that a responsive support network can be formed to address the issue of sexual violence at the community level. Collaboration with health, child protection, and mental health institutions is an integrated step that supports victim recovery. This service contributes to the understanding of the importance of the role of Posyandu in dealing with sexual violence and details the impacts and concrete solutions to improve prevention and recovery. The conclusions of this study provide a deeper understanding of the complexity of the issue of sexual violence and provide a basis for policy recommendations to improve the community approach in addressing this problem.

In many countries, data collection on sexual violence incidents is not integrated into the healthcare system, which makes it difficult to establish the nature of sexual offences in this country. This contributes to widespread societal denial about the realities of sexual violence cases and the collective oppression of survivors and their families. Capturing detailed information about incidents (e.g., characteristics of perpetrators, where it happened, victims, and the offence) can dispel myths about sexual violence and aid in crime prevention and interventions. This article examines how information about sexual violence incidents—in particular, offences committed against children in Kenya—is gathered from two different data sources: the Violence Against Children Survey (VACS) and data collected by the Wangu Kanja Foundation (WKF), a survivor-led Kenyan NGO that assists sexual violence survivors in attaining vital services and justice. These two surveys provide the most comprehensive information about sexual and gender-based violence. The analysis indicates that, while the VACS provides information about the prevalence of sexual violence, it provides less detailed information about the nature of violence (e.g., characteristics of perpetrators, victims, and the offence) compared with the WKF dataset. We critically reflect on how validity and informativeness can be maximised in future surveys to better understand the nature of sexual violence, as well as other forms of gender-based violence, and aid in prevention and response interventions/programming.

Sexual violence against women is a form of gender violence and both a severe human rights violation and public health problem. This ecological, descriptive, and temporal series study aims to analyze sexual violence against pre-adolescent, adolescent, and adult females in Santa Catarina State, Brazil, based on data from the Information System for Notifiable Diseases, in order to describe the characteristics of cases of sexual violence perpetrated against women, reported by health professionals from 2008 a 2013. A total of 15,508 cases of violence were reported, including 2,010 cases of sexual violence (12.9%). Cases of violence totaled 950 reports in the 10 to 14 year bracket (47.3%), 450 in the 15 to 19 year bracket (22.4%), and 610 (30.3%) in women 20 years or older (adults). Adolescent females suffered violence by a single aggressor, at home, at night, with vaginal penetration, and with greater tendency to repeated assault and pregnancy as a result. For females 10 to 14 and 15 to 19 years of age, the aggressors were unknown in 32.9% and 33.1% of the reports, respectively. Adult women were sexually assaulted either at home or on public byways, at night or in the early morning hours, by a single aggressor, with vaginal penetration in more than half of the cases, with more physical injuries, and with more subsequent suicide attempts. The information should contribute to awareness-raising of policymakers, health professionals, researchers, and health field professors concerning the importance of reporting violence in order to help develop interventions to prevent such violence against women.

Nowadays, society is presented with rampant cases of sexual harassment and violence. Teenagers are one of the categories of victims, so it is important to make serious prevention efforts so that the chain can be broken. Counseling activities are aimed at educating adolescents about sexual violence, how it occurs, the causes and consequences caused, how prevention efforts to reporting mechanisms for victims. Looking at the situation in the field, many teenagers do not understand the dangers of sexual violence, especially media-based violence, so this service is deemed necessary. Implementers together with partners agreed to carry out these activities with the aim of educating the community, especially teenagers who use active gadgets to avoid media-based sexual harassment and violence and know things that endanger themselves. This service broadly wants to create an environment that is safe, comfortable and free from sexual violence and is able to place Panti village as a gender-friendly village. To achieve this big goal, the main activities that will be carried out are: 1). Education on the dangers of sexual violence in general 2). Socialization of the legal umbrella of sexual violence, 3) Media-based sexual violence, and 4) Anticipation of sexual violence and protection efforts for victims.

The number of child rape in Indonesia seems to be increasing. In today's modern age, the influence of social media to children is very rapid. Yet, the rapidity is not balanced with the adequate supervision of parents to the children. The data show that in the last four years, since 2014 to 2017, the cases of sexual violence against children increase into more than 50 percent of all cases of violence. Therefore, this research aims to propose, first, legal sanctions for perpetrators of child rape and, secondly, the child rape in the view of Islam. This research is library research. From this research, it can be seen that the legal sanctions for child rape in the view of law and Islam can be found in law no. 23 of 2002 concerning child protection and the Aceh qanun law no. 6 of 2014. Keywords : Criminal Act, Child Rape, Islamic Law

Sexual violence against children is an urgent issue that has become a global concern, including in Indonesia. Although the Indonesian government has issued various policies and regulations to address this issue, implementing the policies and regulations still faces significant obstacles. These include the establishment of a Regional Technical Service Unit for the Protection of Women and Children (UPTD PPA), training programs for relevant institutions, and educational campaigns for the prevention of sexual violence against children. However, the prevalence of sexual violence against children remains alarmingly high, with over 11,000 cases reported in 2022. The main factors contributing to the high rate of child sexual abuse are weak law enforcement, lack of coordination between institutions, and cultural barriers that hinder understanding and education about child protection. Additionally, resistance to implementing the Child Protection Law highlights the gap between policy formulation and practical law enforcement. In order to minimize the incidence of sexual violence against children, this study emphasizes the necessity of greater collaboration among the society, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), the private sector, and the government. The research further highlights the need to raise awareness of the significance of children's rights and sexual violence prevention. Key recommendations include strengthening the implementation of the policies and regulations, improving law enforcement, and enhancing the capacity of law enforcement institutions in order for child protection policies to be implemented more effectively and efficiently.
