In 2019, JASS and Hivos Southeast Asia, along with five womenās rights organizations ā Fahmina Institute, FAMM Indonesia, Perempuan Mahardhika, Rahima, and Rumah KitaB, supported by Global Affairs Canada, initiated a transformative journey as the We Lead consortium, dedicated to strengthening the voice and leadership of women in Indonesia. Despite a very challenging context of political polarization, rising religious extremism, increasing reality of the climate crisis and the effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the consortium exceeded the anticipated targets by profoundly impacting womenās lives and leadership in areas such as gender-based violence, sexuality, democracy and the shrinking space for womenās freedom of expression, Islam and feminism, defense of land and territory in the face of extractivism.
