Indonesia for Humanity (IKa)is a civil society resource organization (CSRO) that optimises all available resources to support and serve marginalised groups in accordance with the organization’s vision. Since 2013, IKa has been managing resources together with a number of consortium partners to promote social, economic and cultural access. The target communities include the community of victims of past gross serious human rights violations (such as the Talangsari tragedy, the ‘65 tragedy, the Aceh conflict, the Semanggi tragedy, and others).
The Voice – Better Together program is managed by IKa and funded by Hivos. The program began in October 2021 and ended in September 2023. In partnership with Sekber 65 and PBH Nusra, IKa has sought to activate the role of young people in providing assistance to the elderly victims of the ’65 tragedy and help them to access social, economic and cultural support in the districts of Surakarta, Karanganyar and Sikka. This program also aims to increase awareness of human rights issues among young people, fostering sensitivity to the needs of the elderly, and expanding youth networks at the national level.
