Goals of Project:
Currently, LION has several programs related to asbestos issues, GBVH and capacity building in OSH issues for workers, students and communities. We would appreciate students from the US who can contribute to our institution in building knowledge management in what has been and is being done today.
Some information about LION, is that they are the main driving institution in asbestos issues by conducting advocacy, capacity building, research and public campaigns in Indonesia. Furthermore, we still need a new approach by collecting what has been done.
The issue of GBVH is that currently LION is facilitating leadership education for female workers in manufacturing factories, and as result have found many victims of GBVH who require mental health resources; as survivors. The future goal is to help these survivors speak up and lead the struggle in order to create safe, healthy and comfortable working conditions.
Finally we are hoping to improve OSH culture for students in vocational schools. These students are "potential" young workers who will be immersed into the industrial world to be introduced at an early age about building a safe OSH culture. In this program we train teachers and students to build a daily culture of actions to build an inclusive OSH and environmental culture.
