This recognition and YARSI’s role as a companion university directly support Sustainable Development Goal 5 on Gender Equality, which aims to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls in public and private spheres, including sexual exploitation and harassment. By helping establish functional PPKPT task forces across multiple universities, YARSI contributes to creating safer educational environments where students especially women and vulnerable groups can pursue their studies free from fear of sexual violence. This initiative also supports SDG 4 on Quality Education by ensuring that educational institutions provide not only academic excellence but also safe, inclusive learning environments essential for student success and well-being. The establishment of robust prevention and response mechanisms addresses systemic barriers that often force survivors to discontinue their education, thereby promoting equal access to education regardless of gender. Furthermore, this work aligns with SDG 16 on Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions by strengthening institutional accountability, promoting rule of law, and building effective mechanisms for justice and protection. Through its companion role, Universitas YARSI amplifies its impact far beyond its own campus, contributing to transforming higher education culture across the region and advancing Indonesia’s commitment to eliminating gender-based violence and ensuring safe, equitable educational opportunities for all students.

BP Hajj implements a comprehensive preparation method by equipping hajj officers with basic standard Arabic language skills, such as asking for directions and addresses, and conducting technical guidance for approximately one month to ensure optimal service for pilgrims. The specific strategies implemented include increasing the allocation of female hajj officers, given that Indonesian hajj pilgrims are predominantly women, while adopting the tagline “Friendly to the Elderly, Disabled, and Women.” In its implementation, on July 30, 2025 BP Hajj collaborates with academic institutions such as YARSI University, which is ready to provide health education for prospective hajj pilgrims through academic contributions in medicine, psychology, nutrition, and Islamic finance.

This BP Hajj initiative demonstrates commitment to achieving several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) through a holistic approach to pilgrims’ health and dementia prevention education for the elderly, SDG 4 (Quality Education) through Arabic language training programs and technical guidance for officers, and SDG 5 (Gender Equality) through increased representation of female officers and gender-friendly services. The professionalization of hajj pilgrimage management is expected to adapt to contemporary challenges, including technological challenges, elderly demographics, and pilgrims’ mental preparedness to face crowded and extreme conditions in the holy land, ensuring that hajj is not only valid according to Islamic jurisprudence but also humane. The collaborative approach with academia also supports SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals) in building professional national hajj governance that provides added value to society spiritually, socially, and economically.

This campaign is carried out through digital platforms, including social media posts and educational content, which aims to raise awareness of the roles, struggles and achievements of women. This initiative is expected to inspire people, especially students, to better understand the importance of equality and support among women.

This activity supports several points in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely:

1. SDG 5: Gender Equality
   This campaign encourages equal opportunities for women and their active participation in various fields of life.
2. SDG 4: Quality Education
   Increase awareness of women’s rights and access to inclusive education through discussion and education.
3. SDG 10: Reduce Inequalities
   Promote gender inclusiveness as an effort to reduce social and economic inequality.

In addition, the campaign also delivered several messages that emphasized the importance of solidarity between women, where great women support other women to become greater. These messages were delivered by women representatives from various batches and faculties. This campaign is also the first step in creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for all. It is hoped that this initiative can continue to inspire individuals and institutions to participate in supporting gender equality and women’s empowerment. Thank you to all those who have contributed to this campaign, may the message of World Women’s Day continue to encourage positive change in society.

The VNR 2025 report aligns with the global theme: “Advancing sustainable, inclusive, and evidence-based solutions to the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).” It focuses on four key SDGs:

Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being Goal 5: Gender Equality

Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals

The event brought together representatives from ministries, agencies, and development partners, all of whom expressed their commitment to collaborating in an inclusive and participatory  manner throughout the report preparation process. The VNR report is not only intended to document progress but also to serve as a strategic reflection tool for strengthening policies and initiatives aimed at achieving the SDGs.

Participants were encouraged to share relevant data and insights to support the report’s development, with multi-stakeholder collaboration identified as a crucial factor in ensuring the success of the process. This kick-off event underscores Indonesia’s strong commitment to

accelerating SDG achievement and reinforcing its position on the global stage as a nation dedicated to sustainable development.

The VNR 2025 report is expected to serve as tangible evidence of Indonesia’s ongoing progress  in promoting inclusive and sustainable development, showcasing its dedication to achieving the 2030 Agenda.

The activity was conducted using the participatory action method (Sanjaya, 2007), combining lectures and interactive discussions. Fifty percent of the time was allocated for lectures to deliver knowledge cognitively, while the remaining 50% was dedicated to discussions and Q&A sessions to foster awareness and motivation among participants. By actively involving the community, this method was designed to convey relevant legal information and encourage the application of principles of gender equality and children’s rights in daily life.

This program aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 5: Gender Equality and Goal 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. By educating communities about women’s and children’s rights, this initiative contributes to ending all forms of discrimination against women and children (Target 5.1) and ensures responsive, inclusive, and participatory decision-making at all levels (Target 16.7). Furthermore, the emphasis on creating harmonious and high-quality families supports Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being, as empowered families are the foundation for mental and physical well-being.

Through this program, the residents of Ujung Menteng gained a deeper understanding of the importance of equality and legal awareness as a pathway to improving family quality. The constructive dialogue between the speakers and participants is expected to create a lasting positive impact that contributes to the achievement of these SDGs.

The KKN activities consisted of several important stages, beginning with socialization that introduced topics related to domestic violence and child reproductive health to the community. The next stage was counseling, where participants were provided with in-depth and practical information on these issues. The program also included training designed to enhance participants’ skills and knowledge in handling and preventing domestic violence, as well as better understanding aspects of child reproductive health. Additionally, mentoring was provided to ensure that the knowledge gained could be effectively applied in daily life.

Throughout the implementation of the activities, the enthusiasm and active participation of the community demonstrated that the program was well-received and successfully achieved its objectives. This success not only increased community understanding of domestic violence and child reproductive health but also contributed to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, SDG 4: Quality Education, and SDG 5: Gender Equality.
