Abstract: This paper aims to develop a tetra-helix-based legal protection concept based on the empirical reality in three cities/regencies with the highest rates of violence against children in South Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, namely Banjarmasin, Banjarbaru, and Barito Kuala. This paper employed the socio-legal research method. It starts with the doctrinal approach, which is normative, and the qualitative non-doctrinal approach. Then, the results were abstracted to find a tetra-helix-based legal protection concept based on the perspective proposed by Lawrence Friedman. Results showed that there is still a high rate of violence against children in South Kalimantan. Even though various efforts have continuously been carried out, they have not resolved the root issue. Thus, there is an increase in new cases. Therefore, various sectors need to be involved to encourage a stronger synergy. The tetra-helix approach allows for proactive law in responding to future challenges to create an environment that is responsive to children’s needs. This paper provides novelty as it is a unique research study on this theme conducted in South Kalimantan Province.
