Violence is preventable
UNDP, UNFPA, UN Women & UNV
regional joint programme for the prevention of violence against women and girls in Asia and the Pacific
Social movement research in Jakarta, Indonesia (second mission)
Five key informants from women's organizations that are or are not member of the New Men's Alliance were interviewed for the social movement research (in English). The English interviews were audio-recorded and will be transcribed to enable analysis.
Between interviews, I discussed initial findings and analyses from first set of interviews done in March with the lead researcher (who conducted interviews as well). There was one session with Ita as an advisor on potential candidates for interviews and establishing initial contact or making appointments. She also briefly provided her view on the history of feminism in Indonesia.
Furthermore, I met with UNV Indonesia regarding recruiting and supporting UN Volunteers in our programme. We have one UN Volunteer in Aceh with UN Women (Marwan Idris) working on Laki-laki Baru/Aceh and supporting research in Aceh, and we are recruiting another UN Volunteer for our partner in Yogyakarta (Rifka Annisa; secretariat of Laki-laki Baru).
Lastly, I met with UNDP Indonesia – procurement unit to ensure continued smooth cooperation regarding procuring transcription/translation service in Indonesia for the research.
