Every Tuesday, we will be tweeting all day with the hashtag #LawanPelecehan, which literally translates to fight/against harassment. This week we’ve decided to blast out links to a number of stories that have been submitted to us through our website/app/hard copy story forms at events. By sharing stories and talking about street harassment and public harassment in Jakarta, we can take a step towards ending it. We also think this is a good way for us to contribute to the #MulaiBicara (Talk About It) campaign of one of our FAVORITE organizations Yayasan Lentera Sintas Indonesia.
For all those who aren’t on Twitter, here are 25 short descriptions of the stories and links to the full stories and maps that we’ve posted:
