FIB Invites the Community to Voice Human Rights Issues

Jatinangor — Education not only provides academic aspects but also social values. This is done as an effort to create human resources who are sensitive to issues occurring around them.

In line with this, the Student Executive Board of the Faculty of Cultural Sciences (BEM Gama FIB) always strives to provide education to the FIB academic community regarding the values ​​of diversity, equity, inclusion, human rights, honesty, respect, and fairness through every activity held.

One form of the BEM Gama FIB program related to Human Rights (HAM) issues is Black September. This activity, which is carried out and supported by the Department of Strategic Studies and Action, provides education as a reminder of the dark history that has occurred in Indonesia through actions and uploading articles on social media pages.

Several articles have been uploaded on FIB social media, namely the Tragedy of the Murder of Munir Said Thalib, the Tanjung Priok Massacre, the Shooting of Pastor Yeremia, and the Semanggi Tragedy.

In addition, this year, BEM Gama FIB also organized a theater arts event that raised the issue of human rights violations, both national and international, entitled “Kenang Gray”. These programs are carried out by BEM Gama FIB as a form of education for the FIB community to awaken memories of the dark events that have not yet ended. Apart from that, through this program, BEM Gama FIB also invites the community to always voice human rights issues because they are a shared responsibility.
