Children are a gift from God and play a vital role in the continuity of a nation and state. Therefore, children must receive proper protection-physically, psychologically, and legally- especially from various forms of violence. In reality, many children in Indonesia become victims of abuse, including sexual violence, which has serious impacts on their growth and mental health. This study aims to examine the legal protection of children as victims of violence from a human rights perspective. The method used is a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach by analyzing relevant laws and regulation, such as Law Number 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights and Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection. The results indicate that the state has a constitutional obligation to ensure the fulfilment of children’s rights and to protect them from violence. Child protection is not only the responsibility of the state but also requires the active involvement of parents, communities, and social institutions in creating a safe and supportive environment for children’s optimal development.
