I am Karel Tuhehay
from the Yogyakarta NGO Satunama
I work at the mental health section at Satunama
What are the issues faced by Satunama?
In the earlier years Satunama
focused on programs
for democracy,
politics,
then, but now
There are more issues
undertaken by Satunama
Issues about
social inclusion,
conservative issues
then livelihood issues
then there are also political issues
and this is this new one from Satunama
that is related to mental health
Related to the social issues in Indonesia Do you feel you have done enough?
Satunama in the past few years indeed
have done a lot on social inclusion issues
We have one program in Satunama
Which is called the Caring program
We have collaborated with some partners
Such as the Pengayat community or from minority religions
so a few years ago
There has been an effort from the government to change the Law
to recognise some minority religions
such as Arism religion in the state
Related to the work of Satunama, is there anything you want to share to the public?
Our society is diverse
there is culture, then society,
What is happening now a days
How certain groups in the societies
are subjected to discrimination
like religious minority groups,
then people with a disability,
then women's groups,
These are areas we feel that need a lot of support
from society, especially from the government
so that these marginal groups
can establish their rights
