​Our project, Cookies For Hope, aims to collect funds to be donated to a local charity, Yayasan Pulih, to victims of sexual harassment by selling cookies to the public, done in response to a quantitative increase in sexual harassment cases during the pandemic. This is our targeted audience, however it may coincide with those celebrating public holidays around the months of April and May, particularly Easter and Eid-al Fitr, as a form of ‘seasons greetings’ and in preparation of the holiday season as the project targets an ending date right before May 2021. Our purpose in donating funds is to aid local foundations in protecting victims of sexual harassment, advancing legal changes, raising awareness of the issue to the public, and taking action against it in general.

I decided to join this cause because I am aware of the mistreatment of sexual harassment victims in Indonesia which for years stay silent because of the fear of societal embarrassment and trauma. I join this cause in order to do the least I can to help these victims.
