Justitia Avila Veda and The Advocates Collective For Gender Justice

But it doesn't stop there. Justitia understands very well that cases of sexual violence in Indonesia are very high. However, not all victims of this case have the courage and ability to report it. Many people choose not to share their problems, either because they are embarrassed or think it is a disgrace so they decide not to share.

This legal assistance is provided free of charge to anyone This program is known as Advocates Group for Gender Justice. Veda also began providing online consultations.

It took a long time for Justitia to build this service. Even obstacles from the victim's side are also a challenge that is very complicated to overcome.
