Analisis Perlindungan Hukum Terhadap Anak Korban Kekerasan Seksual

Abstract

The issue raised in this journal is about how to protect the law for children victims of sexual violence. This research uses qualitative methods with a normative approach, and includes a type of literature research based on primary and secondary sources, including norms, legal doctrines, legal propositions, laws, and expert opinions in literature. The results showed that legal protection for children victims of sexual violence is carried out through repressive protection efforts and through legal protection as stipulated in Law No. 35 of 2014 which is an amendment of Law No. 22 concerning child protection. Obstacles include unclear and firm regulations, which cause law enforcement officials to interpret the law according to their thinking. Non-conformities between legal regulations may affect the implementation of the law. The evolving paradigm shows that child protection laws focus more on law enforcement against perpetrators of child sexual violence, rather than on prevention efforts.
