Forum Solidaritas Anak Muda untuk Kemanusiaan / Youth Solidarity Forum for Humanity
(FORA) had a reconvene to discuss their work plan for one year ahead. The discussion took
place at Ke:kini Coworking Space, Cikini, Menteng, Central Jakarta on Tuesday (23/08/2022).
Indonesia untuk Kemanusiaan / Indonesia for Humanity (IKa)’s Executive Director, Sugiarto Arif
Santoso, was also present to oversee the discussion.
FORA works as ‘IKa’s Youth Community Supporter’ through collaborating with other youth
communities in the Greater Jakarta area. FORA aims to achieve inclusive and equitable youth
participation and leadership in society. As a part of the ecosystem and an extension of IKa,
FORA is to carry IKa’s values in conducting their works.
Out of the discussion, it was decided that FORA will put their focus to work on sexual violence
issue and cultural sustainability issue. The issue of sexual violence in particular will prompt the
establishment of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and a Sexual Violence Prevention and
Handling Task Force / Satuan Tugas Pencegahan dan Penanganan Kekerasan Seksual
(Satgas PPKS) at three universities in the Greater Jakarta area. The selection of this issue is
with reference to the implementation of Permendikbud 30/2021 for universities to form sexual
violence task force. Whilst for cultural sustainability issues, FORA focuses on the sustainability
of an artist community to be able to continue performing post-pandemic.
Believing in ‘strength in number’, FORA will garner more participation from youth communities in
the Greater Jakarta area to work together to realize FORA’s vision. FORA is set to engage
university students to promote the forming of SOP and Satgas PPKS at chosen universities and
other young people with concern for art-performing community sustainability.
Young people who will be future members of FORA will be provided with training on issues of
human rights & democracy, gender & social inclusion, fundraising, as well as campaigning &
writing, by the current FORA members who previously had also been trained on similar topics.
In order to solidify the preparation of FORA members to carry out their mission, IKa will provide
another workshops on facilitation techniques, creative thinking, up to advocacy.
Not only will FORA be providing community assistance and support in the form of training,
FORA is also to raise funds for sexual violence crisis center at universities and for art-
performing community to remain sustain.
