The research was conducted in March 2025 at SD Negeri No. 10 Galung, Banggae subdistrict, Majene regency. The sample consisted of 36 respondents selected using a total sampling method. The research results show that before the intervention 29 (80.6%) children had poor knowledge and 7 (19.4%) children had good knowledge, after conducting the Wilcoxon test, the Asymp.sig (2-tailed) value obtained was 0.001, indicating a significant increase in knowledge after providing video-based education to children about safe touches at SD Negeri 10 Galung. The conclusion of this research suggest that the provision of educational videos effectively increases knowledge about safe touches among elementary school children, thereby reducing the risk of sexual violence in the community.
