Abstract

Although not included in the list of countries with the highest rates of sexual violence in the world, Indonesia has recorded a setback in terms of child protection. The National Commission for Child Protection noted that in 2015 there were 218 cases of child sexual violence. Meanwhile, in 2016, the KPAI recorded 120 cases of sexual violence against children. Then in 2017, there were 116 cases recorded. Adolescent age groups, some of which are legally categorized as children, are vulnerable to becoming victims of sexual violence because children are always positioned as weak or considered to have limited ability to protect themselves. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of reproductive health education through VLM on changes in early adolescent attitudes in order to prevent sexual harassment. The research was conducted at the Nurul Fikri Integrated Islamic Elementary School, Makassar City. Using a quantitative research method with a quasi-experimental approach to 50 SDIT Nurul Fikri students. The results showed that there was no difference in the effectiveness of changing attitudes. This is because a short time in imparting education to students (i) is not enough to instantly change one's attitude. This research suggests the need for proper education regarding sexuality according to age stages through counseling or interesting media from the school and is sustainable.
