Title :  Facilitator for Safety and Security Training for WE LEAD Project
Duty Station :  Jakarta, Indonesia
Report to :  Project Manager We Lead
Duration :  26 (twenty six) days


Background
Women’s Voice and Leadership (We Lead) is a multi-year project initiated by Hivos Southeast Asia and Just Associates (JASS), and supported by the Global Affairs Canada (GAC), starting from 2019 until 2023. The goal of the project is improved enjoyment of human rights by women and girls and the advancement of gender equality and tolerance in Indonesia. To implement the project, Hivos and JASS collaborate with five (5) women’s rights organizations (5 WROs) with strong legitimacy among their constituencies and broader community: Rahima, Fahmina, Rumah KitaB, Perempuan Mahardhika, and FAMM Indonesia. We are working together with the local community/partners organization to educate the target group; women ulema, student activist, grass-roots activist in the Islamic boarding school (pesantren), grass-root community, campuses. Also, to promote gender equality and tolerance through online media and provide accompaniment to the local organization in building a safe space for members of the WVL Indonesia.

Recently, growing conservatism and fundamentalism movement vastly rising in online and offline platforms in Indonesia. The trend of shrinking space for women is evident in university. The Setara Institute researched 10 state universities and found that tarbiyah groups and former members of Hizbut-Tahrir Indonesia (HTI) organization currently control students’ religious discourse in these universities. Students pushed out the idea that Muslims should uphold Islam's teachings and values in the society and that public safety can only be achieved when the society obeys God’s commands as in Qur'an and Hadith, including in their appearance wearing hijab.

Various campaigns by the hardline Islamist groups such as Islamic Defenders Forum (FPI), Islamic Community Forum (FUI), and AILA (Family Love Alliance) are massively spread through the online media such as website and social media. These potentially increase the challenge, risk, and threat towards women’s rights defenders who work to reform the informal justice. Furthermore, these are also affecting the fulfillment of women’s rights to remain distant to achieve. Nevertheless, the safety and security of the women’s rights defender physically, digitally, and psychologically should be the top priority.
