Women workers in Indonesia fight back against sexual violence

All over the world, one of the ways that employers and the State keep women un-organised is through the use of sexual violence against them. A group of women workers in the industrial area of KBN Cakung in Jakarta are making a film, see trailer, as the next step in addressing the issue of female workers in Indonesia. The film is called Female Workers Break Open the Sexual Violence Cases. The local community radio, Radio Marsinah, is co-ordinating the project and is looking for funds for the film project. Radio Marsinah is named after the worker activist that was murdered in 1993.
