Safeguarding Children from Online Sexual Exploitation: A Legal and Maqāṣid al-Sharī’ah Approach
Main Article Content
Abstract
Advancements in technology have eased access to information but also heightened children’s vulnerability to sexual exploitation in digital spaces. Indonesia ranks among the top 10 countries with the highest incidences of online child sexual abuse, according to ECPAT data. This article examines legal protections for children against sexual exploitation online from the perspectives of positive law and maqāṣid al-sharī’ah (objectives of Islamic law) using a normative juridical approach. Findings reveal that, despite existing laws such as the Child Protection Act and the Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE) Law, cases of abuse persist. Islamic teachings, rooted in the maqāṣid al-sharī’ah, prioritize the protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and property, offering complementary principles for addressing this issue. By integrating statutory regulations with Islamic jurisprudence, a more comprehensive framework for safeguarding children can be established. This approach not only strengthens existing legal measures but also aligns them with universal values, ensuring a balanced and effective response to the challenges of digital-era child protection.
