Pendidikan Seks pada Anak Usia Dini: Implementasi dan Pencegahan Pelecehan Seksual

Abstract

Sexual harassment at an early age will affect the development of children into adulthood, where girls have been found to be less assertive and have slightly lower self-esteem than boys. In addition, girls and boys will experience symptoms of depression, social anxiety and social loneliness gradually increasing from the age of 6 to 17 years. Therefore, instilling sex education from an early age is very important in order to prevent the risk of children experiencing bad sex experiences or sexual violence. This study aims to analyze the implementation of sex education in early childhood in preventing sexual harassment both in the family environment, school and even in the play environment. With a qualitative descriptive research methodology using a phenomenological approach, through observation data collection techniques, interviews and documentation researchers can understand and appreciate the behavior of the research object. The results of this study are that there are three points of implementing sex education, namely instilling a spirit of masculinity in boys and a spirit of femininity in girls with reference to the hadith of Al's history. Bukhari, namely Ibn Abbas, said: Rasulullah SAW cursed men who pretended to be women and women who pretended to imitate men, taught to keep genitals clean from uncleanness, and instilled shame so that they became moral human beings. Then the main effort is to prevent the occurrence of sexual abuse in early childhood, namely by exemplary education, advice, stories, habits, and events.
