Indonesia at a threshold: reinventing the human rights movement
Combined with growing fundamentalism and sectarianism, Indonesia once again is in dire need of a human rights movement for change. For much of the last century, Indonesia was considered a pariah state, isolated from the rest of the world due to its horrendous human rights track record. This changed in 1998, in great part thanks to the efforts of the Indonesian human rights movement, but now the country is at a threshold once again.
Eksistensi sarat paradoks pergerakan LGBTI di Indonesia
Di masa lalu, Indonesia memiliki reputasi sebagai negara yang toleran, namun berbagai pernyataan yang menghasut dari para politisi berujung pada meningkatnya kekerasan terhadap kelompok LGBTI di negara tersebut, dan ini mendorong para pendukung hak asasi manusia untuk bekerja lebih keras demi tercapainya kesetaraan. Kelompok LGBTI sudah lama ada di kebudayaan dan masyarakat Indonesia, jauh sebelum terbentuknya negara tersebut.
The paradoxical existence of the LGBTI movement in Indonesia
Indonesia used to have a reputation of tolerance, but inflammatory rhetoric from politicians has led to an increase in violations against the LGBTI community, forcing human rights advocates to fight harder for equality. LGBTI people have always existed in Indonesian culture and society—long before the genesis of the nation itself. The Bugis people in Sulawesi recognise five genders that maintain the balance of Mother Nature in accordance with their codex, Sureq Galigo.
Agama sebagai permainan politik: meningkatnya intoleransi di Indonesia
Intolerasi agama di Indonesia yang meningkat berasal dari suatu pakta politik antara mantan presiden, Bambang Yudhoyono, dan kelompok Muslim dengan tingkat toleransi rendah di negara itu. Presiden yang baru, Joko Widodo, harus menghentikan kekerasan itu sebelum terlambat. Di Indonesia, intoleransi agama oleh sebagian Muslim Sunni telah meningkat. Populasi dari negara berpenduduk 250 juta orang, sekitar 87% Muslim, dengan Muslim Sunni sekitar 99% dari populasi itu.
Hak keselamatan kerja di era pasca-COVID di Indonesia
Prioritas pengadaan Kartu Pra-Kerja di Indonesia membahayakan distribusi program-program bantuan sosial yang sudah ada, yang sejatinya dapat langsung membantu mereka yang membutuhkan. EFE/EPA/MAST IRHAM Pandemi COVID-19 telah merumahkan lebih dari dua juta pekerja di seluruh Indonesia.
Intoleransi Makin Berkembang di Indonesia
Meski Indonesia dikenal sebagai negara mayoritas Muslim moderat namun belakangan banyak militan Muslim Sunni menyerang berbagai minoritas agama. Konstitusi Indonesia melindungi kebebasan beragama namun massa Sunni menguasai jalanan; pemerintah nyaris tak melakukan apapun guna hentikan kekerasan tersebut. Hak asasi manusia dan agama bisa saling mendukung; ia jelas dalam debat openGlobalRights yang masih berlangsung.
Indonesia’s growing religious intolerance
Although Indonesia has long been seen as a religiously moderate country, Sunni Muslim militants are attacking minority religious communities across the country. Indonesian law protects religious freedom, but mobs reign on the streets; the government does little to stop the violence. Human rights and religion can be mutually supportive; that much is clear from the ongoing openGlobalRights debate.
Indonesia's crackdown on the LGBTI community doesn't make any sense
LGBTI people have always existed in Indonesian culture and society—long before the genesis of the nation itself. The Bugis people in Sulawesi recognise five genders that maintain the balance of Mother Nature in accordance with their codex, Sureq Galigo. In Central Java, the tradition of the Lengger Lanang cross-gender dance still flourishes to this day. In Papua, some indigenous tribes have performed male-to-male sexual initiation as a coming-of-age tradition for thousands of years.

Religion as a political game: rising intolerance in Indonesia
Indonesia’s rising religious intolerance stems from a political pact struck between former president Bambang Yudhoyono and the country’s least tolerant Muslim groups. The new president, Joko Widodo, must stop the violence before it’s too late. In Indonesia, religious intolerance on the part of some Sunni Muslims is on the rise. The country’s population of 250 million people is approximately 87% Muslim, with Sunni Muslims making up about 99% of that population.
