FKM BKA YWU

FKM BKA YWU is a women’s group organisation engaged in advocating for the rights of marginalised women: women with disabilities, indiginous women, women victims of violence and conflict, young women and working women. The group works in Aceh Province, the end of northern Sumatra Island, the province with the sixth poverty ranking out of 34 provinces in Indonesia and the highest in Sumatra. Poverty in this area has been caused by 30 years of civil war conflict and is exacerbated by frequent disasters, causing women to be the biggest and most vulnerable affected group. FKM BKA YWU focuses on SDGS and UNCRPD in advocating for the people in Aceh.
