Sexual violence against children remains a significant social concern, particularly among elementary school-aged children who are vulnerable due to limited understanding of personal safety and body boundaries. Preventive efforts through sexual education and parenting programs are considered important strategies to reduce these risks. This study aims to analyze the implementation of sexual violence prevention efforts through sexual education and parenting programs at LKSA IKATRINA Ponorogo and to examine their impact on children and parents. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation techniques. Participants included institutional managers, caregivers, parents, and children involved in the programs. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by triangulation to ensure credibility. The findings indicate that prevention efforts were implemented through sexual and reproductive health workshops, toilet training activities, routine parent meetings, and parenting seminars. These programs improved children’s awareness of personal safety, strengthened self-protection skills, and enhanced independence in maintaining personal hygiene. Additionally, parental participation increased awareness of appropriate parenting practices and improved parent–child communication. The study concludes that integrated sexual education and parenting programs contribute to strengthening child protection by promoting safer environments and supporting children’s well-being.
