Presenting Indonesian Women's Coalition for Justice and Democracy


The Indonesian Women's Coalition for Justice and Democracy is a mass organization committed to advancing women's lives through gender-just development and the promotion of human rights—especially those of women. “We joined INSP!R Indonesia at its inception in late 2020, and since then, our engagement has been truly transformative.

Through INSP!R Indonesia, we’ve strengthened our capacity to advocate for women workers' rights, particularly their right to social protection—an essential responsibility of the state. Women workers, both in the formal and informal sectors, face multiple layers of vulnerability. It's not just about fair working conditions and wages, but also about ensuring workplaces are free from gender-based violence and sexual harassment. Our participation in INSP!R has empowered our members—many of whom are workers—to better understand their rights and to actively claim them. Together, we’ve pushed for inclusive and gender-sensitive social protection policies that address the real needs of women. This includes reproductive protections like menstrual and maternity leave, support during inflation and mass layoffs, and access to childcare services for working mothers."

Thanks to INSP!R Indonesia, our collective voice is louder and our movement is stronger. We are not only advocating for change—we are helping build a system where women workers are visible, valued, and protected."
