Violence against children, human trafficking, and sexual violence often occur among society. Many factors may trigger the occurrence of this case. Considering that such issue was good to be discussed and known to many parties, so Stube Bengkulu had it in a discussion held in Taba Gemantung village, Merigi Sakti district, Central Bengkulu Regency (30/01/2022).
Ten
village youths attended the discussion with Reginiana Dosvia Khalista S.Pd.K as
the resource person. She is a volunteer for the Stube-HEMAT Bengkulu
multiplication program who works as a teacher and youth mentor. The discussion
revealed data from the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) in 2015,
showing there were 21.6 million cases of violations of children's rights, and
worst 58% of them included in the category as sexual violence against children
that led to murder.
Why does sexual violence happen to children? The several factors are: 1) The first factor is the role of parents. Parents have a big role in preventing such cases by increasing supervision and providing education about sex, abuse, and its consequences. Unfortunately, this is often still considered taboo for some parents so that children do not have a proper understanding of sex. Therefore, parents must be more active in communicating with their children regarding these problems. Children will finally know how to use gadgets wisely. 2) The second factor is the environment, where the children live and have interaction. The surrounding community must have a healthy life character because children or adults who have the potency to become perpetrators of violence are the results of imitating. An unhealthy environment such as the influence of alcohol, narcotics, or pornography will also gradually affect. 3) The third factor is the presence of a trigger. Victims and perpetrators are usually children who are quiet and think that it is not right to refuse when touched, and because of fear, it is very easy to become a victim. As for the perpetrator, the trigger is usually a sexual desire that is not expressed properly.

From the explanation, the participants stated their thoughts, namely: 1) The youth of Taba Gemantung village must have a correct understanding about sexual violations and share this information with the community; 2) The youth of Taba Gemantung village must be the role model for the people in their village with the right lifestyle; 3) The youth of Taba Gemantung Village will become community observers to avoid sexual violence, and provide education to young people in their village to have the courage to refuse if they suffer from harassment.
The
discussion is expected to be a good source of information and help young people
to prevent acts of sexual violence that occur to women and children in Bengkulu
Province in general. ***
