One form of human rights violation that has a long-term impact on children's physical, psychological, and social development is sexual violence against children. Children of Indonesian migrant workers living in Malaysia are classified as vulnerable groups due to limited parental supervision and access to adequate formal education. This community service aims to provide education on how to prevent sexual violence for children aged 7-9 years who study at the Simunjan Community Learning Centre, Ladong, Sarawak. The method used is in the form of interactive education, such as song recognition, movement, and participatory discussion. The assessment of changes in participants' knowledge is conducted by administering pre-test and post-test. The results of the activity showed that there was an increase in children's understanding in terms of knowledge about the parts of the body that others can and should not touch, as well as actions that must be taken if a stranger does something unpleasant. In addition, children show increased courage in speaking out and the ability to recognize inappropriate forms of touch. This activity also increases teachers' understanding of the importance of children's sexual education from an early age. A fun approach, a safe learning environment, and the support of teachers and the school community are key success factors. This program is expected to be a model of culturally and contextually appropriate child self-protection education in the environment of migrant children.
