Abstract
Illegitimate children experience discrimination in social life. They have the stigmas in the community with such names as "anak kampang", "anak kowar", "anak haram jadah" and so on. By law, illegitimate children lose their rights. One of the institutions intended to help fight for the rights of illegitimate children is the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI). The institution formed by the Indonesian government is a hope in fighting for child protection, including the protection to illegitimate children. The method used in this paper was normative juridical. Based on the research, there were some community members who filed the cases of the protection to the rights of illegitimate children to KPAI. However, due to the illegitimate marital status of the illegitimate children’s parents, KPAI had a difficulty in fighting for the rights of illegitimate children since there is no legal basis for forcing their biological fathers to provide care for the children. KPAI attempted harder to have persuasive approaches to solve incoming cases. In the future, KPAI should be given a bigger role to help resolve the issues related to the protection and interests of children, especially illegitimate children.
