Jakarta , Indonesia
Joined December 2015

About Suaka
“SUAKA” is the Bahasa Indonesia word for asylum. The network came together in October 2012 when a group of like-minded individuals and organisations realised that there was a gap in providing legal assistance and human rights advocacy for asylum seekers and refugees in Indonesia.

Mission
Suaka works to protect and promote the human rights of refugees and asylum seekers in Indonesia by:
1 Providing legal aid, advice and information to asylum seekers and refugees;
2 Empowering asylum seekers and refugees to understand and advocate for their human rights;
3 Raising public awareness on asylum and refugee issues; and
4 Advocating for policies that protect the rights of refugees and asylum seekers.
