A total of 17 participants from nine companies that are part of Gather Exchange Navigate (GEN), representing Banten, DKI Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, and East Java, took part in the GEN In-Person: Strengthening GBV Prevention and Climate Resilience in the Garment Industry, held Friday–Sunday (6–8 February) at Hotel Oria, Jakarta. The activity served as a collaborative space for companies to exchange ideas and share good practices in preventing gender-based violence (GBV) in the workplace while responding to climate change impacts—such as providing vitamin subsidies for women workers to help maintain immunity and improving factory air circulation. During the sessions, participants co-developed roadmaps for GBV prevention and response as well as climate action measures oriented toward worker well-being and business sustainability. The event concluded with a public action through the distribution of free seedlings and plants to the community during Car Free Day in the Sudirman–Thamrin area, Jakarta. As a follow-up, GEN members also agreed to hold weekly online meetings as an ongoing space for evaluation and discussion.

The event featured actress Agni Pratistha, who delivered a session on transforming waste into value-added products and highlighted the importance of public engagement in addressing climate change. Additional speakers included Priadi Santosa from the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (KPPPA), Franky Zamzani from the Ministry of Environment, and Yenny Anggraeni from the Ministry of Manpower. They shared cross-ministerial perspectives on strengthening policies for women’s protection, preventing GBV, and integrating gender perspectives into climate change responses and sustainable workplace practices.
