Pencegahaan Kekerasan Seksual Pada Anak Dengan Media Komik Di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Majasem Kota Cirebon

Abstract

Children if they get abusive treatment from others tend not to know how to refuse. Especially if they get sexually abused they feel they don't understand that they have been sexually abused. This phenomenon occurs because children do not really understand that the body must be protected from violence, including sexual violence. They only understand that their parents must protect their bodies. Whereas the perpetrators of sexual violence against children according to the records of the Indonesian Child Protection Commission are the closest people to children, such as stepparents, biological relatives, and friends. Therefore it is necessary to provide knowledge on how to protect their own bodies from sexual violence.Community service activities are carried out as a way to provide knowledge to maintain sexual violence against children through comic media (illustrated stories) given to elementary school children in Class 2. Knowledge is assessed from the increase in pre-test and post-test scores given to students. The result is an increase in student knowledge after reading the comic with the title "I am My Body Protector".It is hoped that this comic giving activity can be given to all elementary schools in Cirebon
