The Empowerment Network for Resilient Women (JEKATA) in Purwakarta and Sukabumi Districts held a discussion on women and vulnerabilities in digital spaces (18 & 24/08), coinciding with Indonesia’s 80th Independence Day.

Initiated by CARE Indonesia (Yayasan CARE Peduli/YCP) with support from Traveloka, the dialogue served as both a knowledge sharing and community building space. It raised pressing issues such as social media scams, online grooming, and the misuse of personal data. During the event, more than 100 participants also echoed the call to end women’s vulnerabilities in digital environments.

The involvement of local male community leaders highlighted support for the principle of equality, namely the fair sharing of roles and responsibilities. It was also emphasized that gender constructs not only limit women but also restrict men from fully understanding equitable role-sharing and equality.

The event concluded with a series of lively competitions, fostering camaraderie and strengthening solidarity among all participants.
