Cases of sexual violence against children in Indonesia have continued to increase in recent years.

This is evident from data collected by the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (PPPA).

The Ministry of PPPA states that sexual violence includes but is not limited to the following acts:

Forcing sexual relations against a person residing within the household and/or one of the household members with another person, for commercial and/or specific purposes.
By violence or threat of violence, forcing a woman who is not his wife to have sexual intercourse with him.
By violence or threat of violence, forcing someone to commit or allow indecent acts to be committed.
Intentionally committing violence or threats of violence to force a child to engage in sexual intercourse.
Intentionally committing violence or threats of violence, forcing, using deception, a series of lies, or coaxing a child to commit or allow indecent acts to be committed.

According to data from the Ministry of PPPA, approximately 6,900 children in Indonesia were recorded as victims of sexual violence in 2020.

Subsequently, the number of recorded victims continued to increase, reaching approximately 11,700 children in 2024, as shown in the graph.

The Ministry of PPPA also found, from the results of the 2024 National Survey on the Life Experiences of Children and Adolescents, that one out of two children in Indonesia had experienced at least one form of violence, whether sexual violence, physical violence, or other forms of violence.

However, only a small portion is recorded in the service system.

"This indicates that victims still find it difficult to speak up and do not yet feel safe to report," said the Ministry of PPPA in a press release (August 6, 2025).

A similar sentiment was expressed by the Junior Attorney General for General Crimes, Asep Nana Mulyana. According to Asep, the challenge on the ground is not just about law enforcement, but also how to encourage victims, especially children, to speak up.

"Often, victims do not realize they are victims," said Asep in a press release (August 6, 2025).
