Abstract

In 2016, cases of violence against children in South Sulawesi started to receive special attention from the local government and the Indonesian Child Protection Commission. There were numerous cases of child abuse in South Sulawesi in 2016. Sexual violence is one of the most common forms of violence. This research, which is a normative legal research, seeks to determine the various forms of exploitation and violence against children in South Sulawesi as well as assess the efforts of the regional government of South Sulawesi in handling these crimes against children. It uses the statutory and case approaches. The collected legal materials were analysed qualitatively. The results show that children in South Sulawesi do not suffer only physical violence but also non-physical violence. The government of South Sulawesi currently plays an active role in tackling and preventing exploitation and violence against children. Also, stakeholders work together in synergy.
