Abstract

Children are the most beautiful gifts given by God, which we must protect and give guidance because they are entrusted by God. Children have the right to get their rights such as the right to education, the right to a place to live, the right to love which parents are obliged to give so that the child is not easily influenced and remains under supervision. Currently, many children do not get what they are entitled to, many children are abandoned on the streets and receive violence, both physical and sexual. Violence against children is very common, both at school, at home, and in public places. Children who are victims of sexual violence will experience depression, children will tend to be quiet, afraid when they have to leave the house, depressed, and don't talk much. Violence against children must be stopped immediately so that no more children become victims. We must help child victims, fight for their rights and protect their privacy. Children who are victims of sexual abuse need psychological assistance so that the child can live another day.
