Key Findings from Baseline Study

Youth Participation and Involvement

  • Low Engagement: Youth actively involved in organizations are a minority. Most associations include youth/student organizations, women's organizations, and humanitarian groups.

  • Focus on SGBV Issues: Urban youth groups in Jakarta and Bandung are increasingly addressing SGBV issues, advocating for the PKS Bill, and collaborating with women's organizations.

  • Limited Access to Policy Makers: Youth CSOs' influence depends heavily on connections with feminist networks, academics, and established women's movements. Support is essential for growth.

  • Individual vs. Collective Action: Young individuals favor practical, individual actions towards SGBV rather than engaging in complex collective movements.

SGBV Campaigning in Educational Settings

  • Barriers to Discussion: Key obstacles include lack of information, embarrassment, and societal taboos.

  • Campus Integration: Some campuses discuss SGBV issues through lectures, fostering critical discussions among students and encouraging participation in advocacy efforts.

Government Perspective on SGBV

  • Government Engagement: DKI Jakarta and Bandung show good government awareness of gender issues, while Palu lacks a strong gender perspective.

  • Youth Inclusion: Local governments prefer involving youth in issues unrelated to SGBV or gender justice.

Media Campaigns

  • Mainstream vs. Social Media: Traditional media often lacks survivor-centric narratives, while social media serves as a crucial platform for youth engagement and information dissemination about SGBV.

  • Conservative Messaging: High levels of conservative content overload youth's social media feeds, complicating progressive advocacy.

Organizational Sustainability and Gender Transformative Approaches

  • Capacity Building: Partners vary in their effective implementation of Gender Transformative Approaches (GTA), with KPI and LBH APIK showing effective practices.

  • Collaboration Requirements: Enhanced collaboration with progressive organizations is crucial.

Recommendations

  • Strengthen Youth Advocacy: Build coalitions with young activists and CSOs that address gender justice and GBV issues, focusing on collaborative efforts across diverse communities.

  • Focus on Inclusive Campaigns: Target misinformation related to the PKS Bill and gender justice strategies, ensuring grassroots involvement.

  • Utilizing Media Effectively: Leverage social media and traditional media equally to raise awareness about GBV and encourage youth participation in advocacy.
