Abstract

This article highlights the urgency of early sexuality education as a preventive effort against child sexual violence, which remains a significant issue in Indonesia. The “I Love My Body” community service program, initiated by KKN students at SDN Bonosari, was designed to improve children’s awareness and understanding of self-protection. Using interactive learning methods such as videos, body zone posters, and songs the program teaches children to identify body parts that are private, recognize inappropriate touches, and develop the confidence to refuse and report. The age-appropriate and engaging approach not only increases knowledge but also encourages active participation from students, making the lessons more memorable. Findings show that the program effectively enhances children’s ability to protect themselves and strengthens their resilience in facing social challenges. This underscores the importance of innovative, child-centered sexuality education in preparing young learners to enter adolescence with awareness, confidence, and a stronger sense of personal safety.
