Description

Bullyid Indonesia is a digital initiative to provide emotional and legal support, especially for those who got physical, mental and any harassment specifically for women, teenagers and children in Indonesia. Due to covid-19, such groups are susceptible to violences especially women. Covid-19 situation in Indonesia, especially in urban cities and for several sectors, urges the people to work from home (WFH) and school from home (SFH). According to a report by the Women National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM Perempuan) 2020, it indicated that there are over 300% increased cases of online gender abuses from January to May 2020.

Bullyid Indonesia has benefitting over 45.000 people since the inception of Covid-19 through our online live Chats and free online consultations.

We also have been helping individuals through Revenge Porn Help Center, where we help victims to take down or remove their unwanted images/videos that are shared online without their permission.

Replicability

The goal of Bullyid Indonesia is to prevail social justice on all the platforms be it online or real-life and help all the people to come out of their mental health issues. To enable our goal, Bullyid Indonesia provides free online emotional and legal help to all those in need and creates an online environment as a safer community to everyone.

Bullyid Indonesia has been training Indonesian undergraduate students in final year who are willing to be our volunteers. We specify the volunteers who study Psychology and Law. They will be the counsellor to the people in terms of cyberdating violence or any harassment from their relationship. The volunteers will be trained by Bullyid Indonesia professional advisors.

Bullyid Indonesia has developed an Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Bot-AI or what we call Relationship Health Check (RHC); a Self-screening Intimate Partner Violence tool, integrated with Artificial Intelligence for all the people who are suffering domestic violence and are unaware of it. The RHC helps them reconsider and reevaluate their relationships and see whether they are healthy or not. This RHC also provides an analysis which is based on psychology and legal perspective based on Indonesia’s laws.

Using the RHC people have been more aware about any harassment and violence happening to them. They are also eager to consult and ask for guidance to solve their problems.

Bullyid Indonesia provides Revenge Porn Help Centre to help victims, to take down or remove the victims’ unwanted images and videos that had been shared online without the victims’ consent.
Bullyid’s can be replicated in any jurisdiction that aims to promote safer online community, distributing equal mental health care and legal support in the country.


Sustainability

We have trained over 30 volunteers, with 52 active licensed psychologists and lawyers on our platform, we have digitally benefited over 45,000 Indonesians, partnering with over 90 institutions and media. We are on a mission to adopt an evolving strategy towards becoming a hybrid social enterprise. In an effort to do, we are now also provide online emotional and legal support as employee’s benefits for Companies, which also could be translated for any Universities and Schools which are interested to apply the same benefit to their students.
