ABSTRACT
Social advocacy plays a significant role in enhancing the protection and handling of minors who experience sexual abuse and violence. Collaboration between child protection agencies, non-governmental organizations, and the government in building advocacy networks is crucial for advocating for better policy changes and ensuring effective implementation. Despite some progress, challenges remain in this social advocacy process. Barriers such as insufficient resources, social stigma, and low public awareness need to be addressed. This study aims to investigate the social advocacy process regarding the handling of minors experiencing sexual abuse and violence. Through a qualitative approach, literature review, and interviews with relevant stakeholders, the research analyses advocacy efforts in addressing cases of sexual abuse and violence against children. Additionally, this study proposes recommendations for improvement, including enhancing public education, broader stakeholder training, and strengthening child protection policies. The advocacy process in handling minors involved in sexual abuse and violence requires a strong social advocacy effort. By strengthening the social advocacy process through education, policy reinforcement, training, victim support, and a robust advocacy network, we can improve protection and handling of these cases and give a voice to those who need support in cases of sexual abuse and violence against minors.
