Abstract
Sexual violence against minors is a type of
violence in which the child is the target. Article 76D of Law Number 35 of 2014
prohibits the use of violence or threats of violence to coerce minors to engage
in sexual activity with the perpetrator or another person. In addition to
Article 76D concerning intercourse and obscene acts, Article 76E prohibits
violence, threats of violence, coercion, tricks, a series of lies, and
persuading a child to commit or permit obscene acts to be carried out. In Law Number
23 of 2002 regarding Child Protection, it is stated that children are a mandate
and a gift from God Almighty, with inherent human dignity and worth. According
to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and the United Nations
Convention on the Rights of the Child, all children are born with human rights.
The normative juridical approach was utilized in the preparation of this study.
This study aims to elucidate legal protections for child sexual violence
victims. According to the findings of the study, as a legal nation, the state
has entirely guaranteed legal protection for child victims of sexual violence
crimes through laws and regulations. Legal protection for children is the
responsibility of parents, family, society, government, and the state, and
consists of a series of activities that must be carried out continuously to
protect children's rights, particularly those of children who are victims of
sexual violence. To ensure the growth and development of children, this
succession of activities must be implemented sustainably and strategically.
