Through the Gen G<\/b> and RHRN2<\/b> programs, we empower village women to become the frontline of community protection. In Palu and Langkat, we have witnessed an extraordinary transformation: from homemakers who were once just neighbors to talk to, into paralegals who master the law and are capable of directly handling cases of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV)<\/b>.<\/p>\n

In Kalyana Village, Palu<\/b>, two homemakers have taken on the role of providing emergency safe havens for victims of violence. After participating in paralegal training with LBH APIK Palu<\/b> and LBH-RT<\/b>, they have become the community\u2019s primary point of reference and now have the courage to accompany cases all the way to the Regional Police (Polres).<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI am so proud. Because we are trusted by the community, and we can help directly. I used to not know what to do, but now, because I am a paralegal, I know how to handle cases and the proper reporting channels.\u201d \u2014 Ibu Hasna<\/b>, Homemaker\/Paralegal in Kalyana Village, Palu.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In Sidomulyo, Stabat, Langkat<\/b>, a similar transformation was experienced by two homemakers through Community-Based Services (LBK)<\/b> and guidance from the Aliansi Sumatera Bersatu (ASB)<\/b>. They handle severe cases such as child bullying and digital violence, building public trust through concrete action.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to know nothing about the law. But now, after joining the LBK (Community-Based Services), I understand it and can help the community. If there is any violence, you can report it to me.\u201d \u2014 Ibu Inda<\/b>, Homemaker\/Paralegal in Sidomulyo, Stabat, Langkat.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u201cWe are now able to explain to the community what violence actually is; we\u2019ve even reached the point of conducting socializations at youth health centers (posyandu remaja<\/i>) and women\u2019s prayer groups (pengajian<\/i>).\u201d \u2014 Ibu Fauziah<\/b>, Homemaker\/Paralegal in Sidomulyo, Stabat, Langkat.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
