La crise économique indonésienne ne touche pas tout le monde de la même façon. Alors que la roupie s'effondre face au dollar, les femmes absorbent la plus grande part du choc — pertes d'emplois dans les médias et l'éducation, salaires volés, discriminations à l'embauche, et intensification du double fardeau du travail salarié et domestique. Disya Halid, journaliste pour la rubrique Buruh Berkisah des Femmes libres, donne la parole à trois femmes de Samarinda (Kalimantan-Est) qui survivent (…)

Indonesia's deepening economic crisis is not experienced equally. As the rupiah slides against foreign currencies, women workers bear a disproportionate share of the burden — through job losses in media and education, wage theft, discriminatory hiring, and an intensifying double burden of paid and unpaid labour.

Excuses publiques, annonces en cascade, interviews télévisées… Gérald Darmanin a enclenché sa machine de communication pour faire face à la colère suscitée par le meurtre de la jeune Lyhanna. (…)

The Philippine House of Representatives — 80% of whose members are descended from elite families — has passed an anti-dynasty bill (HB 8389) that changes nothing. A second-degree limit on blood and marriage relations leaves cousins and nephews untouched, family members can hold simultaneous offices across different tiers of government, and party-list mechanisms remain available as a workaround. PLM calls for coverage to the fourth degree of relation, a one-dynasty-one-office rule, and a (…)

In Indonesian culture, ghosts are not marginal figures from folklore but presences woven into the texture of daily life. A body that has not received proper mourning, a death that has not been acknowledged, a name that cannot be spoken aloud: these produce a particular kind of haunting, felt in atmosphere rather than apparition. In East Java's Ponorogo regency, this cosmological inheritance intersects with one of the defining crimes of the twentieth century. Between October 1965 and March (…)
