ABOUT THE ORGANISATION AND POSITION
Ruang Temu Generasi Sehat Indonesia (Rutgers Indonesia) is an organization based in Indonesia and affiliated with Rutgers in the Netherlands. It works with implementation, research and advocacy partners in various provinces in Indonesia to improve sexual and reproductive health and the acceptance of sexual rights, gender equality and gender-based violence prevention. Rutgers Indonesia addresses various challenges and problems young people face regarding their sexual and reproductive health and well-being. We do this, amongst others, by empowering them through research and advocacy, program implementation, and grant management.
One of the programs currently being implemented by Rutgers Indonesia is Power to You(th). Power to You(th) is a five-year program (2021-2025) that believes that change starts from the community. To realize this change, the Power to You(th) consortium seeks to strengthen civil society organizations to empower and increase the voices of adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). The program’s overall goal is to contribute to more adolescent girls and young women from underserved communities being meaningfully involved in decision-making regarding harmful practices, FGM, and unintended pregnancies.
Power to You(th) will involve youth aged between 12 – 24 years from underserved communities as the target group. The above goals will only be achieved if civic space, including social actors, the state and the media, can be empowered.
