Description: In this episode, Stephanie talks with Naila Rizqi Zakiah, a public lawyer for LBH Masyarakat, a branch of the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation, about the current plans to revise the Indonesian criminal code under a draft proposal called the RKUHP. As Stephanie and Naila's conversation show, the proposed revision is more concerned about moral policing sexual activities rather than actually address the issues that impact the most marginalized communities. Many people through no fault of their own can potentially go to prison under this proposed criminal code — people such as rape victims, victims of sexual exploitation, teenagers who have consensual sex outside of marriage, couples who have unregistered informal marriages (nikah siri), as well as ethnic minority groups. This major revision to the criminal code is a huge threat to Indonesia's fragile democracy. Please sign this Change.org petition (http://bit.ly/2DWsrLr) addressed to the Parliament and add your name and support to the fight against moral policing Indonesian society!
