on sexual violence to 78 schools with a total of 15,000 students for 5 days.“ A girl student once wrote a note to us,‘ I was once sexually abused in a train and because of Lentera Sintas Indonesia, I finally figured out how to respond to that,’” Hage shared.“ And that’ s the real measurement of success that we highly appreciate rather than the number of counseling sessions we do in schools,” she added.
Hage is also the campaign director of # MulaiBicara(“ start to speak” in English), a movement under Lentera Sintas that was implemented in April 2016 to raise awareness that sexual violence is not only the responsibilty of the government and nongovernment organizations, but the responsibility of all. In an interview, Hage explained that this campaign encourages people to begin speaking up for victims of sexual violence who cannot speak up for themselves.
