Shinta Ratri: Transgender Rights In Yogyakarta

My name is Shinta Ratri

I'm from Islamic Boarding

for transvestite

the name is Al-Fatah

I'm 56 years old

and I'm from Yogyakarta

Our activities are

Uphold the right to worship

For transvestite friends

And we struggle

Conduct inclusion activities

The aim is to expand acceptance

Transvestites in the society

all this time

two years ago

we have received persecution

From fundamentalist groups

which is

Forced closure

To our boarding

4 months later we struggled

And dare to rebuild

Even though transvestites are also human

Who has the right to worship

We then network with KBB

It's Victims of Religious Freedom

Consist of

Minority groups

From Ahmadiyah, Shia, Christian, Catholic

Buddhists, Hindus and Devotees (Penghayat)

Which one is each of them

Have received the same treatment

Like us

That is a violation of rights

To do worship

Which is religious freedom

So..

That is the function

Minority groups are indeed

Need to unite

To conduct joint advocacy

Against human rights violations

What we receive as a minority

My hope is the government

To take firm action

This means that it does not do omission

To those groups

Which is the occurrence of intolerance

Then it became increasingly widespread

in Yogyakarta

Thank you

Wassalamu'alaikum Warahmatullahi (and grace of God May the salvation)

Wabarakatuh (and blessings be abundant to you)
