Since 2014 through Presidential Instruction no. 5 of 2014 concerning the National Movement Against Violence Against Children, this problem has caught the government's attention because quite a few children are victims of violence and sexual deviation ("Presidential Instruction No. 5," 2. Data from the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPIA) shows an increase in the number of cases of violence against children, namely from 2,982 cases in 2021, almost doubling in 2022 to 4,683 cases of Of this number, the first rank is cases of sexual crimes against children, namely 28% and child pornography cases 56%, which is the second place for cases of violence against children.

The opinion of some parents who think that sex education for children is taboo, turns out to be wrong. Sex education is not as narrow as most people expect, sex education is very broad. Sex education is closely related to how to educate children at home and at school. According to Suwaid . 0: . there are several ways to direct children's sexual tendencies, including: . training children to ask permission when entering their parents' house or room. get children used to lowering their eyes and covering their private parts. separate the child's bed. practicing mandatory bathing. explain gender differences and the dangers of committing adultery (Abduh&Wulandari. According to Hurlock . there are six child developments that are taken into consideration, namely: . motor development. social development and. development of play. Because growth and development is a continuous process, sex education for children should be carried out repeatedly and continuously. For example, start by explaining the intimate organs and their functions when the child is 0-2 years old, then at 3-5 years old provide an understanding of the differences between male and female bodies, at 6-8 years old you can talk about pregnancy, and so on until the child experiences puberty and mature. The technology in Indonesia is on the one hand a source of pride, but on the other hand it is a threat to children's psychological and social development, children can easily access pornographic sites because there is no supervision from the family, lack of explanation about sex (Sujarwati et al . The phenomenon and prevalence of pornography among society makes us aware of the importance of developing sex education materials for early childhood.
