Project
The project Take action for the future! builds the capacity of women’s prisoners in Bulu, Semarang, Indonesia on their rights on gender-based violence and sexual reproductive status and integrates them back to the community after imprisonment. With an over capacitated prison and disproportional human resources, women prisoners from Bulu Semarang face various vulnerabilities. Some of these are: 1) insufficient provision of personal hygiene needs, especially by those rarely visited by their families; 2) absence of psychological support and assistance; 3) proneness to violence. These vulnerabilities put them at risk even after imprisonment.
This project is working towards having women prisoners who are healthy, are free from violence, and are able to prepare themselves for their return to their various communities. This is achieved through education on reproductive health rights, increasing family and prison staff support, facilitation of health and psychological support programmes, and prevention of gender-based violence.
