PEREMPUAN AMAN (Persekutuan Perempuan Adat Nusantara- Aliansi Masyarakat Adat Nusantara)

What PEREMPUAN AMAN (Persekutuan Perempuan Adat Nusantara- Aliansi Masyarakat Adat Nusantara) does

PEREMPUAN AMAN (Persekutuan Perempuan Adat Nusantara), declared on 16 April 2012 in Tobelo, Halmahera Utara, Maluku Utara, is the dedicated indigenous women's wing organization of Aliansi Masyarakat Adat Nusantara (AMAN), the largest indigenous peoples' alliance in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. It was established to provide indigenous women a separate organizational space to consolidate, document traditional knowledge, and voice collective interests distinct from the broader AMAN membership. The organization serves individual indigenous women members originating from AMAN member communities, organized into 67 Wilayah Pengorganolasian (organizing regions) structured as PHW, PHD, and PHKom governance units across seven Indonesian regions: Sulawesi, Sumatera, Kalimantan, Bali-Nusra, Maluku, Jawa, and Papua, with a current consolidated base of approximately 2,855 members.

The organization's core offering is advocacy and capacity-building rather than technology products. Its deliverables include publications such as Buletin Ina Tana, Lembar Fakta dan Analisis SDGs, and the Panduan Praktis SDGs untuk Masyarakat Adat; policy briefs on the Indigenous Peoples Bill (RUU Masyarakat Adat); gender-based violence monitoring reports; food sovereignty programs (collective farms, livestock, fish farming); and economic linkages via the affiliated Credit Union Pancoran Kehidupan (CU Randu). Underlying infrastructure is minimal: a WordPress website, social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, a National Secretariat in Bogor, West Java, and a Jakarta representative office.

Revenue mechanics are non-commercial and consist of three streams: (1) recurring membership dues (iuran wajib anggota) collected unevenly across Wilayah Pengorganolasian; (2) institutional grants from at least six named international donors including Mama Cash, Samdhana Institute, Rainforest Foundation Norway (Regnskogfondet), VOICE-AIPP, FIMI, and Tenure Facility (channelled through PB AMAN); and (3) government partnerships such as the cooperation with KEMENDIKBUD's Directorate of Indigenous Beliefs and local government engagements for village recognition. The go-to-market is community-led organizing backed by event-driven advocacy at national meetings (TEMUNAS, RAKERNAS, RPP), regional consolidations, and international forums (UN ESCAP, UN HLPF, AIWN, RRI). The organization is governed by a Ketua Umum (Chair), a National Council (Dewan Nasional), and the National Secretariat.
