The RESPECT Program, Jakarta, is seeking a highly qualified and motivated

RESPECT is a 5-year project led by World Learning in cooperation with one

facilitate the ability of Indonesians to create and participate in an
inclusive public sphere (social and political), where everyone recognizes
and respects the place in society of all citizens irrespective of religion,
ethnicity, gender or other attributes. The goal of RESPECT is to provide
opportunities for Indonesians who may hold divergent views to define, create
and realize common values, process and institutions that work best for

on issues affecting diversity, tolerance and the rights of women and
minorities;
3. strengthen the legal system to support diversity, tolerance and
the rights of religious, ethnic or gender minorities.
