ARI is a youth-led organisation, working across several parts of Indonesia on young people’s SRHR.
For this particular research, their interest was to examine and compare sex-positivity in the sexuality related education and messaging across three different organisations in Pati District in CentralJava Province, Indonesia. The following youth-run programmes were chosen for the study:ARI Central Java works with rural youth in Pation SRHR capacity building.Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) is a faith-basedorganisation that has a female student council(IPPNU) and a male student council (IPNU).IPPNU and IPNU have an SRHR educationprogram called PIK R (Youth Information andCounseling Center) in Pati area.GENRE is a programme for 16-22 year agegroup, organized by the National FamilyPlanning Coordinating Board (BKKBN), whichis a government entity. GENRE works towardprevention of child marriage, drug use, and‘free sex’, and trains young ambassadors on these topics.
ARI undertook a two-pronged analysis byexamining the documents and curricula usedby these three organisations and analysing theircontent against a set of pre-determined parameterson sex-positivity and pleasure; and conductinginterviews with the young people (aged 15-24) who had received capacity building training on sexuality from these three organisations. The 10 interviewees were chosen through random sampling from among the trained youth in each organisation, with 3 from ARI Pati (2 females; 1 male); 4 from NU (2 females from IPPNU and 2 males from IPNU); and 3 from GENRE (1 female, 2 male).
