Dear Konsensya,

 

Last month we launched our #BreakTheChains campaign asking YOU to call on the government of Indonesia to make mental health medication more available. Human Rights Watch's reporting exposed the shackling of 18,000 people with psychosocial disabilities (mental health conditions) in Indonesia. Many are locked up in chains or animal pens, sometimes for decades, in part because the government has refused to supply adequate mental health medication and services.

 

Thousands of you showed your support by emailing and tweeting Indonesia’s health minister with our call to make mental health medication readily available.

 

Now we have some good news!

  
We just met with Indonesia's Minister of Health, Nila Moeloek, and she promised that the government will provide mental health medication in ALL 9,500 community health centers across the country. This important outcome could turn the tide against shackling.

 

Human Rights Watch will not rest until this promise is fulfilled.

 
Without your support we could never have achieved this.

 

HELP US SHARE THE GOOD NEWS!

  

 

Thank you!

18,000 Living in Chains

Dear Konsensya,

 

“Imagine living in hell, it's like that here.” Asmirah, a 22-year-old woman with a psychosocial disability at a religious healing center in Indonesia, August 2015

 

Despite a 1977 ban on shackling - known as pasung - in Indonesia, the practice continues. More than 18,000 people with perceived psychosocial disabilities (mental health conditions) are locked up in chains, wooden stocks, or animal pens because families don’t know what else to do or because of the lack of access to mental health care. They are confined to unsanitary and inhumane conditions, sometimes for decades.
  
There are only 48 mental hospitals and less than 1000 psychiatrists in a country of over 250 million people. Due to the government’s refusal to supply adequate mental health medication and services, many families shackle their relatives with disabilities because they don’t know what else to do. 

 

No one should have to resort to shackling their loved ones.  
 
It is time to END the shackling of people with disabilities.
 
JOIN US and call on the Ministry of Health to provide mental health medication in local health centers and support services for all who seek it.
