- Abstract
Sexual crime in children increases significantly every year. In 2015 there were around 757 cases of sexual violence against children and women. The phenomenon of sexual violence against child victims must be given more attention because it can injure the victims because of traumatic events which were brought to adulthood. The introduction of the impact of sexual violence on children is expected to map problems that occur in children, so that parties who are competent in their fields can take steps to prevent, intervene and regulate comprehensively. This study uses a qualitative case study approach with the participation from child victims of sexual violence. The level of trust in the data used significant others, among others, playmates, village staff who handle cases, and health analysis forums. Data analysis used is descriptive analysis of case studies. The results of the study show that the victim is psychologically experiencing inferiority, non-assertiveness and anxiety. This experience will make the victim easier to experience sexual violence. Parental understanding of the problem of sexual violence also strengthens the slow resolution of problems, but this can be eliminated by the concern of local governments such as districts (kelurahan) and sub-districts (kecamatan) that immediately seek solutions to the problem. Thus, parental factor does not become an obstacle to the problem if the presence of the local government plays an active role in solving the problem.
