CHAPTER 2

The Article

Waria' told to leave their home in Jakarta amid anti-

LGBT campaign.

Seven transgender people in Sumur Utara, Klender, East

Jakarta, have been told by residents to leave a boarding house
they are currently staying at.

"We, kampung Sumur residents, reject the presence of LGBT

groups", states a banner put up in front of the boarding house on
Saturday. The neighborhood unit (RT) head was collecting
signatures from residents to expel the waria, said one of the
seven people affected who requested anonymity, using a local
term for transgender people.

She said they had been accused of prostitution.

The boarding house is home to eight people; the eighth room

being occupied by a midwife, she said, adding that many more
transgender people resided in the area.

“We have never broken any rules. We always abide by the

regulations set in the neighborhood, including not receiving any
guests,” she told The Jakarta Post on Sunday. “Our landlady
defends us, but now she is being called an atheist and disgusting
and [blamed for] stirring up social tension.”

She has stayed in the boarding house for several years; some of
her friends have lived there for 10 years or longer and have never
been threatened until now. “We have not been physically abused
so far, but we do not know what will happen,” she said.
Yulianus Rettoblaut, a well-known rights activist that leads the
Indonesian Waria Communication Forum (FKWI), lamented the
situation. She attributed the threats to rising anti-LGBT sentiment
in the country particularly ahead of the presidential and legislative
elections next year, as anti-LGBT statements have been
employed by politicians to get votes.

“Our [state ideology of] Pancasila guarantees equal justice for all,
but we all know transgender people always face discrimination,”
she said. Yuli suggested that the seven waria seek
assistance from rights groups, such as the Jakarta Legal Aid Institute
(LBH Jakarta) or Human Rights Watch (HRW) to make sure they got
justice.

HRW researcher Andreas Harsono said the local residents could not
trespass onto their private lives, as long as the landlady did not mind their
presence.

Translate :

Waria' disuruh meninggalkan rumah mereka di Jakarta

di tengah kampanye anti-LGBT

Tujuh waria di Sumur Utara, Klender, Jakarta Timur, telah diberitahu oleh
warga untuk meninggalkan rumah kos tempat mereka tinggal.

"Kami, warga kampung Sumur, menolak kehadiran kelompok LGBT",

menyatakan sebuah spanduk dipasang di depan rumah kos pada hari
Sabtu. Kepala unit RT mengumpulkan tanda tangan dari warga untuk
mengusir waria, kata salah satu dari tujuh orang yang terkena dampak
yang meminta anonimitas, menggunakan istilah lokal untuk orang
transgender.

Dia mengatakan mereka telah dituduh melakukan pelacuran.

Rumah kos adalah rumah bagi delapan orang; kamar kedelapan ditempati
oleh seorang bidan, katanya, menambahkan bahwa lebih banyak orang
transgender tinggal di daerah itu.

“Kami tidak pernah melanggar aturan. Kami selalu mematuhi peraturan

yang ditetapkan di lingkungan ini, termasuk tidak menerima tamu, ”katanya
kepada The Jakarta Post pada hari Minggu. "Wanita pemilik rumah kita
membela kita, tetapi sekarang dia disebut ateis dan menjijikkan dan
[disalahkan karena] menimbulkan ketegangan sosial."

Dia telah tinggal di asrama selama beberapa tahun; beberapa temannya

telah tinggal di sana selama 10 tahun atau lebih dan tidak pernah diancam
sampai sekarang. "Sejauh ini kami belum disiksa secara fisik, tetapi kami
tidak tahu apa yang akan terjadi," katanya.

Yulianus Rettoblaut, seorang aktivis HAM terkenal yang memimpin Forum

Komunikasi Waria Indonesia (FKWI), menyesalkan situasi tersebut. Dia
mengaitkan ancaman itu dengan meningkatnya sentimen anti-LGBT di
negara itu, terutama menjelang pemilihan presiden dan legislatif tahun
depan, karena pernyataan anti-LGBT digunakan oleh para politisi untuk
mendapatkan suara.

“Pancologia kami [ideologi negara] menjamin keadilan yang sama bagi

semua orang, tetapi kita semua tahu bahwa waria selalu menghadapi
diskriminasi,” katanya. Yuli menyarankan agar tujuh waria mencari bantuan
dari kelompok-kelompok HAM, seperti Lembaga Bantuan Hukum Jakarta
(LBH Jakarta) atau Human Rights Watch (HRW) untuk memastikan
mereka mendapat keadilan.

Peneliti HRW Andreas Harsono mengatakan bahwa penduduk setempat

tidak dapat masuk tanpa izin ke kehidupan pribadi mereka, selama sang
induk semang tidak keberatan dengan keberadaan mereka.
