Kids deserve the same rights as adults. Unfortunately, many people don't always consider this when it comes to protecting children's rights. Efforts to safeguard these rights are crucial, especially when they've been violated by adults, their environment, or even their own parents. Kids are the future, and they reflect the values of their families, religions, and nations. They face terrible experiences like exploitation, abuse, being used as sex toys, child labor, abandonment, and even becoming street kids or victims of drug trafficking.

In Indonesia, these cases are all too common. The media often reports on such incidents, painting a grim picture. As a nation based on Pancasila, Indonesia must ensure legal protection for its citizens. This includes protecting children from sexual crimes. Law enforcement in North Sumatra, for instance, is built on the harmony of values that prioritize good conduct and a series of value hierarchies. The goal is to maintain and defend a peaceful social life.

From a progressive law perspective, protecting children from sexual crimes is about more than just punishment. It's about ensuring the dignity and well-being of the child victims. It's an ideology and dedication to upholding the law and doing what's right.
