National Commission on Violence against Women

National Commission on Violence against Women (KOMNAS Perempuan) was established in 1998 as an independent national institution to protect women’s rights, including preventing and reducing violence against women. It does so through raising public awareness, collecting data and reporting cases of violence against women, conducting research, reviewing state policy, and facilitating cooperation and networks to reduce violence against women.

KOMNAS Perempuan established the Forum of Service Providers (FPL) bringing together a network of 112 organisations spread across 32 provinces in Indonesia of frontline services for victims of violence. MAMPU supports 20 FPL members, working in 15 provinces, 31 districts and 102 villages.

Approach developed as MAMPU Partner:

Together with FPL, continue to improve local and national databases for handling cases of violence against women in Indonesia including women with disability.
Collective advocacy with local and national civil society organisations (CSOs) on gender equality.
