Institutionalizing Gender Audit in Yogyakarta-based Universities

 

Location:

Special Region of Yogyakarta 55281, Indonesia

 

The project addresses sexual violence as a manifestation of power abuse, advocating for a comprehensive approach to tackle issues like the gender pay gap, lack of women in leadership roles, and patriarchal curricula. It proposes participatory gender audits, engaging students and staff to uncover and dismantle these hierarchies. While most Indonesian universities have task forces for sexual violence, they often focus on response rather than addressing underlying gender inequalities, leading to underreporting. The project seeks to complement these efforts by encouraging a comprehensive approach to sexual violence prevention without overburdening existing task forces, involving staff and students across various university units. Employing a participatory gender audit methodology rooted in feminist principles, the project engages participants from four universities in Indonesia to develop indicators and tools, prioritizing safety and rights in data collection
