This research is the result of a study prepared and published by the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada (FISIPOL UGM), as a research partner, in collaboration with civil society organisation partners, namely ‘Aisyiyah, Yayasan BaKTI, KAPAL Perempuan, PKBI, SIGAB, and PR YAKKUM, with support from the Australia–Indonesia Partnership Towards an Inclusive Society (INKLUSI).
The research aims to understand the key barriers to advancing Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) at the subnational level, with a particular focus on three provinces—Aceh, the Special Region of Yogyakarta, and South Sulawesi. The study examines the experiences of marginalised groups in accessing basic services, economic resources, representation in decision-making processes, and recognition of their social status as equal citizens. The research recommends three key approaches: linking redistribution and representation efforts with meaningful recognition to address stigma against marginalised groups; framing inclusion work as a shared social responsibility; and applying intersectional and multisectoral approaches in the design and implementation of inclusion programmes.
