Abstract

Cases of sexual abuse against children in Indonesia remain persistently high, yet victim-oriented protection, as distinct from the punishment of offenders, has received comparatively limited doctrinal attention. This study analyses the forms of legal protection afforded to child victims of abuse under Law Number 35 of 2014, and in particular Article 69A. Adopting normative (doctrinal) legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches, the study collects primary legal materials (the Criminal Code, Law Number 23 of 2002, Law Number 35 of 2014, and Law Number 12 of 2022) together with secondary materials through documentary study, and analyses them qualitatively by means of legal interpretation. Article 69A guarantees an integrated model of protection comprising preventive education, social rehabilitation, psychosocial assistance, and procedural protection throughout the criminal process. The provision affirms the State's obligation to place the best interests and recovery of the child at the centre of the justice process and calls for harmonisation with subsequent sexual-violence legislation to ensure effective implementation.
