Countering Rollback Country Brief

Rapid Scoping Review 2025: Indonesia

Published on 16 April 2025

Indonesia is experiencing significant democratic backsliding, threatening the freedoms and rights of women and of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and more (LGBT+) communities.

Civil society organisations, which have long been central to advancing democracy and human rights, are facing increasing restrictions under President Prabowo Subianto’s administration. This brief explores the background and context of rollback in Indonesia, the landscape of anti-rollback actors, counter-rollback strategies, and the gaps and areas for future research and work.
