Freedom From Violence

Sisters in Justice

Sisters In Justice is a platform for women refugees to deepen our knowledge, skills and confidence to use the law to protect and secure justice for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV).  Beyond individual cases, Sisters in Justice is generating vital learning on what community-led protection looks like in practice.


Response

Sisters in Justice supports hundreds of refugee women each year—providing urgent assistance, strengthening access to services, and building pathways to safety and stability.

In 2025, our survivor-led network of over 40 volunteers responded to over 540 cases - supporting women with hospital visits, finding safe housing, and SGBV legal protection.


Awareness 

After completing the Sisters in Justice training program, our members host awareness workshops for women refugees living in Indonesia in their own languages to explain women’s rights, forms of SGBV, reproductive health, and pathways to protection and support for survivors.  In 2025, over 500 women refugees joined these workshops in Arabic, Dari, English, Somali, Tamil, and Rohingya. 


"This training was very beneficial for us, and we have learned a lot from it. Before we didn't know about our rights and we faced a lot of violence that's against the Indonesian law. We didn't know to whom we should seek assistance. In this training we got all the information that we didn't know before." Participant, 2023.

Lived realities, collective care

"We will not be victims who are vulnerable to everything."


The Sisterhood’s pathway to transformation starts with our lived experiences, whilst listening to, documenting, amplifying, and respecting the experiences and needs of women in our communities. 


As sisters, we are coming together to equip each other with support, connections & resources to advocate for our rights as women and as refugees, whilst challenging gender discrimination and harmful socio-cultural norms. 


As one woman explained in our first consultation when we were founded, “Women survive by just being silent about their situation. They just suffer.” As Sisterhood, we say: “Now is not the time to give up.”
