The Forum of Service Provider (FPL) is a network 112 members spread across 32 provinces in Indonesia that provide services for women victims of violence. Services such as case handling, referrals, legal assistance and shelters for women who experience violence.
FPL is divided into 3 regions to optimize their work in providing services to women victims, namely the Western Region (Sumatra), Central Region (Java, Bali, Borneo, and West Nusa Tenggara) and the Eastern Region (Sulawesi, Moluccas, East Nusa Tenggara, and Papua). The division of this region serves to facilitate coordination, support each other, expand membership, provide services, and establish cooperation between fellow network members.
MAMPU supports 20 FPLs working in 15 provinces, 31 districts, and 102 villages.
