Introduction

aims to improve social harmony in three districts in West Java, Indonesia, due
to a reduction in religiously-motivated discrimination. The specific objective
of the action is increased community awareness of and support for the human and
civil right of faith minorities via interfaith youth advocacy.

The discriminatory practices experiences by minority groups are often
poorly understood by the majority religious community, or by policy makers.
This program is highly relevant and also a best practice in building dialogue
and harmony between religious community by recognizing and engaging in advocacy

receive their rights as citizens.

java to implement a grassroot led, rights based approach of education and
advocacy for minority faith rights that engaged youth faith from minority,
moderate pesantren (traditional Islamic boarding schools) and the wider
community, as well as community leaders, religious leaders and policy makes. By
the end of the action, it envisaged that 4 million residents of the West Java
district of the Cirebon, Sukabumi, and Tasik Malaya will be experiencing social
and economic benefits from improved social harmony as a result of a reduction
in inter-group tension and religiously-motivated discrimination.
