This type of research is a quasi-experimental, one-group pre and post-test research design. This research was conducted at the Midwifery Department of Padang. The study was conducted from September to November 2020. The population of this study was students of 1 d3 Midwifery in Padang. Sampling by consecutive sampling, totaling 92 people. Manual data processing and univariate data processing with frequency distribution, bivariate analysis with Mc Nemar. The results showed that the number of incidents of sexual violence/harassment before and after IEC was 6.5% and 4.3%, respectively. The incidence of ISR before and after IEC was 12% and 7.6%, respectively. Adolescent readiness before and after Information Education Comunication was 47.8% and 72.8%. The results of statistical tests before and after IEC on the incidence of sexual violence/harassment with p- value > 0.500. The results of statistical tests before and after IEC on the incidence of ISR with p-value > 0.125. The conclusion of this study is the effectiveness of IEC on the prevention of sexual violence and the incidence of ISR there is no difference before and after IEC.
