<![CDATA[Protection of children from sexual violence is a shared responsibility of all parties, including the judiciary. One of the efforts to protect children by the judiciary is manifested in court decisions on cases of sexual violence against children.

This article aims to examine the reflection of child protection in the resolution of cases of sexual violence against children in Indonesia in 2019-2020.
