Sexual harassment is a social problem that can affect children, adolescents, women, and men, with impacts on victims’ physical, psychological, and social well-being. Limited understanding of body boundaries, forms of sexual harassment, and appropriate actions to take when experiencing or witnessing harassment is an issue that requires serious attention. This community service activity aimed to increase children’s and adolescents’ knowledge and awareness of sexual harassment prevention through the educational program “Know and Protect Your Body.” The activity was conducted on July 11 and 18, 2026, by students of KKN Group 225 from UIN Raden Mas Said Surakarta in Bolopleret Village through tutoring sessions and Youth Posyandu activities. The method employed was Participatory Action Research (PAR), involving observation, interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), socialization, discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and documentation. The results indicated participants’ enthusiasm and active involvement, as well as improved understanding of body boundaries, forms of sexual harassment, self-protection, and mechanisms for seeking help. Continuous educational efforts are expected to contribute to the creation of a safe, caring, and responsive environment that supports the protection of children and adolescents.
