Konsep Teologi Tubuh Anak dan Sakralitas Melihat Kasus Pelecehan Seksual
(Pemerkosaan Anak di Bawah Umur)
Abstrak
Sexual violence against children, particularly the rape of minors, is a serious issue that affects not only the physical condition of victims, but also causes profound psychological, social, and spiritual trauma. Such acts violate the dignity of children as persons created in the image of God and damage the integrity of the human body as a divine gift. This study aims to analyze cases of child rape from the perspective of the theology of the body of children and the sacredness, while also examining the role of pastoral theology in supporting the recovery of victims. The research employs a qualitative method using a literature study approach based on relevant theological, psychological, and pastoral sources. The findings indicate that the theology of the body understands the human body as a reality that possesses spiritual value and inherent dignity that must be respected. Therefore, the rape of children constitutes a serious violation of God's will and human dignity. The trauma experienced by victims is often stored in bodily memory, requiring a holistic approach to recovery. In this context, pastoral ministry plays a significant role through the functions of healing, sustaining, guiding, and reconciling in order to assist the recovery of victims and strengthen efforts to protect children from sexual violence.

Abstrak
Kekerasan seksual terhadap anak, khususnya pemerkosaan anak di bawah umur, merupakan persoalan serius yang tidak hanya berdampak pada kondisi fisik korban, tetapi juga menimbulkan trauma psikologis, sosial, dan spiritual yang mendalam. Tindakan tersebut merusak martabat anak sebagai pribadi yang diciptakan menurut gambar dan rupa Allah, serta menghancurkan integritas tubuh sebagai anugerah ilahi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kasus pemerkosaan anak di bawah umur dalam perspektif teologi tubuh anak dan sakralitas, serta mengkaji peran pelayanan teologi pastoral dalam upaya pemulihan korban. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi pustaka terhadap sumber-sumber teologis, psikologis, dan pastoral yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa teologi tubuh memandang tubuh manusia sebagai realitas yang memiliki nilai spiritual dan martabat yang harus dihormati. Oleh karena itu, pemerkosaan terhadap anak merupakan pelanggaran serius terhadap kehendak Allah dan martabat manusia. Trauma yang dialami korban sering tersimpan dalam memori tubuh, sehingga proses pemulihan memerlukan pendekatan yang holistik. Dalam konteks ini, pelayanan pastoral memiliki peran penting melalui fungsi menyembuhkan (healing), menopang (sustaining), membimbing (guiding), dan mendamaikan (reconciling) guna mendukung pemulihan korban, serta memperkuat upaya perlindungan terhadap anak.
