<![CDATA[Sexual violence poses a serious threat to the well-being of adolescents, including those in Lampung. Adolescents, as a vulnerable group, often become victims of sexual violence perpetrated by individuals close to them, such as parents or teachers. This article highlights the importance of preventing sexual violence through education and knowledge introduced from an early age. The phenomenon of sexual violence primarily occurs in school environments, families, and other social settings, resulting in physical, emotional, and psychological impacts on the victims. Furthermore, sexual violence creates serious consequences not only for the direct victims but also for the broader community and surrounding environment. The high incidence of sexual violence against children and adolescents, particularly evident in the statistical cases in Bandar Lampung, underscores the urgency of addressing sexual violence cases. Prevention of sexual violence and education on the subject need to be introduced early on, and initiatives to provide understanding and knowledge to students about the need to protect themselves from threats and acts of sexual violence are crucial. The community service team conducted a six-month awareness campaign on preventing sexual violence at SMA YP Unila, involving the student council (OSIS), Paskibraka, and class representatives totaling 40 individuals. The awareness campaign utilized methods such as lectures, sharing and group discussions, and question-and-answer sessions. The results indicated an improvement in students' understanding of sexual violence prevention. Students became aware of the importance of early education and knowledge about sexual violence, recognized signs of sexual violence, understood the serious impacts that can occur, and learned how to handle instances of sexual violence. The students also demonstrated an awareness of the role of education as a means to increase awareness and knowledge]]>
