“…While such sanctions are not enough to eradicate CSA, it could help the healing process of survivors as well as serving deterrence purposes (Connolly et al, 2017). Public policies often fail due to deterrence failure (Mei & Pearson, 2014) but since public order and law is enacted and collaborative, the responsibility of parents and caregivers to report CSA and do so in a timely manner is particularly important for organizing robust evidence (Sumampouw et al, 2020; W. A. Walsh et al, 2010).…”

Reporting child sexual abuse (CSA) to law enforcement institutions is the ideal child protection imperative. The role of parents in this process is unquestionably profound. Yet, there is limited evidence on parental perspectives on reporting CSA to law enforcement agencies in developing country contexts. We apply vignettes to describe the views of parents about reporting CSA perpetrated by “family members, schoolteachers, and strangers.” Data was collected from 89 parents from four culturally diverse regions of Ghana. A systematic inductive approach was used to determine patterns and similarities in participants’ attitudes toward reporting. We note that the attitudes of participants about reporting CSA varied considerably; these are influenced by the nature of social relationships between the victim and perpetrator. In a seeming order of severity, CSA perpetrated by a family member was viewed less seriously compared to victimization by a teacher or a stranger. The desire to preserve familial/kin ties and reputation and keeping to the cultural heritage of resolving “disputes and disagreements” amicably were primary norms against reporting CSA. However, attitudes toward reporting CSA by teachers were influenced by expectation of higher moral standards, which made reporting CSA by a teacher a reasonable cause of action. Positive attitudes toward reporting CSA by “strangers” were prevalent. Child protection programs must recognzse the segmented attitudes toward CSA and tackle the deep-seated cultural and social norms through social and behavioral change communication (SBCC).

Pageu Gampong: Risk Mitigation in Preventing Children Violence in North Aceh Regency

et al. 2023

The series of incidents of violence against children become a social fact that surrounds our lives. It appears in many forms, namely: physical violence, sexual violence, psychic violence, and social violence. The government has made various efforts to minimize cases of violence against children. However, a structural approach is not enough, it must be accompanied by a cultural approach. This article discusses how the cultural approach, in this case strengthening the pageu gampong system, can be used as a mitigation of the risk of violence against children. This study was conducted in North Aceh Regency using a qualitative approach. Data were collected using observation techniques, interviews, and literature studies. Socialization of the importance of the existence of the pageu gampong system must be carried out to all elements of society to raise collective consciousness in protecting the village from the influence of negative things. Efforts to reactivate the pageu gampong system encourage the formation of a community order that advises each other in kindness, takes care of each other community members, helps each other in terms of kindness, supervises each other suspicious things in the village environment, and can resolve disputes in the community indigenously.
