| Specific Issues for Discussion | |||||||||
| SAFEnet, a digital rights advocate non-profit organization based in Indonesia, has initiated a platform for online gender based violence (OGBV) advocacy called Awas KBGO (Watch out for OGBV). OGBV has risen in the discourse of online protection in Indonesia. The Awas KBGO initiative is an intervention to the dire OGBV situation in Indonesia and has done plenty of things in Indonesia in the last few years, including but not limited to developed helplines for OGBV victims which received more than 1,300 reports since the activation in mid 2019, publishing various free and downloadable guidebooks including first aid when facing non-consensual dissemination of intimate images which has been downloaded for thousand times, developed a learning management system for youth and support systems, and have been improving the accessibilities of the issues, content and knowledge for the deaf and blind communities. The latest are Awas KBGO researches on OGBV faced by Women Human Rights Defenders and Existing OGBV Legal Framework in Indonesia. Through this showcase, we'd like to share what we have been our experience and invite others from the Asia Pacific Communities to share their experience, and also engage and collaborate with us in the future thus we will have a stronger collective to tackle the issues in the region. |

| Brief Summary of Your Session | |||||||||
| The session went with the speakers explaining about the advocacy on online gender based violence in Indonesia through SAFEnet's initiative called Awas KBGO (Beware of Online Gender-based Violence). The advocacy started as a 16 days of activism campaign but then pioneered a multistakeholder effort by collaborating and working together with other stakeholders, namely the victims, service providers, government (relevant ministries and NHRIs), digital platform, law enforcements, relevant UN bodies, and et cetera. The initiative also documented the knowledge and published guidebooks and researches on it, while at the same time pushing through the dissemination towards larger public. Awas KBGO also diversified the format and channels (from booklet to social media posts, podcasts, YouTube videos) and improved the accessibility so the transfer knowledge could reach more vulnerable and marginalized group, such as deaf and blind communities. Remediation of the published materials included encouraging the deaf communities to create sign language instructions around the topic of online gender based violence, and raising their awareness and capabilities to handle the subject. Other efforts currently happening is translating the resources into English language to broaden the scope of advocacy. |
