Child protection is a strategic issue in human development, yet cases of child sexual violence continue to rise despite the existence of regulatory frameworks. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Regional Regulation Number 10 of 2022 concerning the Implementation of Child-Friendly Regencies (KLA) in preventing child sexual violence in Sabu Raijua Regency. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, data is collected through in-depth interviews, non-participatory observation, and documentation involving 25-35 informants selected via purposive and snowball sampling.
