Child sexual abuse requires preventive efforts through early education on personal safety. This community service activity aimed to improve children’s knowledge of personal safety skills using animated videos in Sungai Beliung Subdistrict, Pontianak City, Indonesia. The activity involved 50 children aged 6–10 years. The implementation stages included preparation, educational sessions, and evaluation. The materials covered three key components: recognize (identifying dangerous situations), resist (refusing unsafe or inappropriate behavior), and report (disclosing incidents to a trusted adult). Participants’ knowledge was assessed using questionnaires administered before and after the educational sessions to identify changes in knowledge. The results indicated an improvement in knowledge, reflected in an increase in the number of participants classified as having good knowledge. Animated videos served as an engaging and accessible medium for delivering personal safety education. Improved knowledge is expected to strengthen children’s ability to protect themselves against sexual abuse from an early age.
