Adolescents with intellectual disabilities have higher vulnerability to sexual violence because cognitive, communication, and adaptive limitations can reduce their ability to recognize privacy, unsafe touch, and help-seeking steps. This community service activity aimed to strengthen reproductive health knowledge and self-protection skills among female adolescents with moderate intellectual disabilities at SLB Negeri 9 Jakarta. The partner was a special education school with 328 students and adequate teaching resources, but it had no structured, continuous reproductive health education program for sexual violence prevention. The activity used a student-centered approach through simple explanation, visual and audiovisual media, repetition, singing, simulation, discussion, and teacher-assisted communication. The main materials covered puberty, menstrual hygiene, private body parts, safe and unsafe touch, body ownership, refusal skills, and reporting to trusted adults. The activity was conducted on 13 May 2026 and involved observation, coordination, education delivery, video viewing, self-protection simulation, question and answer, and documentation. The results showed that the activity was contextually relevant for students with intellectual disabilities and created an initial model of disability-friendly reproductive health education. The main output was a practical education session that can be continued by teachers and health workers through periodic reinforcement.
