LBH Jentera Perempuan Indonesia has supported women and child victims of sexual violence, domestic violence and other forms of violence. All of the members carry out their activities without payment (they do not receive wages).

LPP Sekar focuses on providing support to victims of gender-based violence and children in Jepara. They receive an average of 5-7 victims of violence per month.
