Crisis at Sea: The Life-threatening Work of Myanmar Fishers in Thailand
Myanmar migrant workers in Thailand's fishing industry face life-threatening conditions. Thailand benefits significantly from seafood exports, but the labor rights and human rights of these workers are a major concern. President Joko Widodo of Indonesia is mentioned in relation to promises made to address past human rights abuses.
Local NGO out to save neglected thresher sharks from extinction
Thresher sharks, locally known as hiu tikus, are being fished to extinction in Indonesia. Rafid Shidqi, a marine conservationist, founded the Thresher Shark Indonesia (TSI) project to protect these endangered species. Despite initial short-term funding, the project received positive responses from local communities and government, leading to the establishment of Yayasan Teman Laut Indonesia. The initiative focuses on reducing dependence on shark fishing in Alor by promoting alternative livelihoods like tuna fisheries. Conservation efforts include tagging sharks to study their behavior and advocating for site-based protection. Local communities are gradually becoming aware of the importance of protecting thresher sharks.
Unpaid and overworked: Inside the exploitative world of student internships
Student interns in Indonesia often face exploitation through unpaid and overworked conditions, as exemplified by Agus, Dini, and Bunga's experiences. Despite labor laws limiting full-time employees to 40 hours a week, interns frequently exceed this due to their exclusion from formal employment definitions. Nabiyla Risfa Izzati, a labor law lecturer, highlights the need for stronger regulations to protect interns' rights, as current laws and Ministry of Manpower regulations do not adequately cover student internships for college credit. The article underscores the necessity for revisions to internship regulations and better supervision by local government employment agencies.
Where Are They? In Remembrance of Victims of Indonesia’s Enforced Disappearance
The article examines Indonesia's history of enforced disappearances, focusing on the Tanjung Priok tragedy and the broader pattern of human rights abuses during the New Order regime. Despite President Joko Widodo's campaign promises to address these issues, victims' families remain dissatisfied with the lack of judicial processes and truth-seeking efforts. The article highlights the economic and psychological impact on victims' families and criticizes the government's non-judicial reconciliation measures as insufficient. Amnesty International and other organizations emphasize the need for accountability and justice for the victims.
Making Transjakarta bus rides safer and more convenient for women
The article discusses the challenges faced by women using the Transjakarta Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, particularly when it comes to convenience and security. Pregnant women, like journalist Wieta Rachmatia, struggle with accessing separate doors designated for them. Urbanist Elisa Sutanudjaja from RUJAK and transport planner Udayalaksmanakartiyasa Halim from ITDP highlight issues such as overcrowding, lack of toilets, and inadequate security measures like poor lighting and insufficient CCTV coverage. The article also touches on the efforts to make Transjakarta safer for women, such as women-only areas on buses, but notes that these measures do not fully address the underlying problems. The article suggests that improvements such as more buses, better lighting, and facilities like toilets and elevators at bus stops could make the system more accommodating for women, ultimately contributing to a more humane city for all citizens.
Jakarta’s effort to boost participation in vehicle emissions test
Jakarta's regulation mandates vehicle emissions tests, but implementation faces challenges due to low participation and lack of sanctions. Despite the affordable cost, few vehicle owners comply, leading to significant air pollution. The Jakarta Environmental Agency and other organizations stress the need for fines to ensure compliance. Public awareness and willingness to participate remain low, with many vehicle owners unaware or indifferent to the regulations. The story highlights the need for stricter enforcement and better public education to improve air quality in Jakarta.
Jakarta’s effort to boost participation in vehicle emissions test
Jakarta is intensifying efforts to boost participation in vehicle emissions tests through collaboration with the police and other stakeholders. Despite the implementation of electronic traffic law enforcement, the application of these measures to emissions violations remains unclear. Experts emphasize the need for joint efforts and public awareness to reduce air pollution. The city plans to revise parking fee regulations and implement environmental pollution taxes based on emissions test results. Neighboring areas' involvement is crucial to meet Jakarta's greenhouse gas reduction targets. Technology, such as low-cost sensors, is highlighted as essential for monitoring air quality.
A better way: How rehabilitated terrorists are helping counter extremism
Reformed terror convicts in Indonesia, such as Saifuddin Umar and Arif Budi Setyawan, are leveraging their experiences to aid in deradicalization programs. These individuals share their personal stories to dissuade others from extremism, working closely with organizations like the National Counterterrorism Agency and Ruangobrol. The involvement of former radicals is seen as crucial in overcoming the reluctance of current inmates to participate in rehabilitation. Family support and community engagement play significant roles in their transformation and ongoing efforts to prevent recidivism.
Intan Anggita Pratiwie and the 'Sustainable Fashion' Movement
Intan Anggita Pratiwie, a law graduate turned sustainable fashion advocate, has made significant strides in the field of recycling and sustainable fashion. Supported by her husband, Aria Anggadwipa, Intan founded the brand Sight From The Earth and later co-founded the Setali foundation, focusing on extending the life of used clothing through recycling. Her efforts have gained international recognition, including an upcoming showcase at Paris Fashion Week. Intan emphasizes the collective effort needed to reduce fashion waste and advocates for government policies to manage fashion waste more holistically. Collaborations with various organizations and continuous public education are key components of her strategy to promote sustainable fashion.
Terror victims in Indonesia recount life-altering attacks as struggle for support continues
Victims of terror attacks in Indonesia, including the 2002 Bali bombings and the 2003 JW Marriott Hotel bombing, recount their life-altering experiences and the long struggle for government compensation. Despite severe injuries and financial hardships, survivors like Gatut Indro Suranto and Mahanani Prihrahayu have fought for their rights through the Family of Survivors Foundation (YKP). Recent government regulations have finally provided financial compensation to some victims, though many still await support. The Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) and the National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT) are working to address these issues, but challenges remain, including the lack of medical records for proper assessment.
