Agen SPAK yang baru mendapat pelatihan cara menyampaikan pesan-pesan anti korupsi

Gerakan 'Saya Perempuan Anti Korupsi!' diluncurkan di NTT

After starting up in six other areas of Indonesia, the movement has grown to 19,000 people during 2014 and now kick starts in Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT). NTT Governor Frans Lebu Raya also launched two other programs: anti corruption village and anti corruption campus.

The event took place in Kupang on 9 March 2015. "I believe that everyone in NTT is capable of preventing corruption, and women as the center of the family play an important role in that," he said. "I have a dream to see NTT as the New Tourism Territory in Indonesia and this can only be possible if we decrease corruption rates in the area," he added.

The launch was followed by a three day training attended by 48 new SPAK agents from 22 districts in NTT. Women from different backgrounds, cultures, and faiths, many from remote areas of the province, learned together how corruption can occur in daily activities, types of corruption, and interesting ways to spread anti corruption messages, one of them through the games provided by KPK and AIPJ. The former head of KPK Busyro Muqoddas had fruitful discussions with the SPAK agents, also meeting with various stakeholders in NTT to discuss ways to prevent corruption through programs in villages, university campuses and the media.  
 
SPAK agents from other areas shared stories, challenges and experiences from their work spreading anti corruption messages in their community. "We occupy a space at the Sempur park every Sunday and use the car free day event to spread the anti corruption message through interesting games," said Hania, a SPAK agent from Bogor. "At first we were asked many questions about the activity, security guards even asked us to leave the area," she added.
 
Maria Bire, a participant from the Eastern Indonesia Women's Network, realised after the training that everyday people can become anti corruption agents. "In fact corruption starts from simple daily behaviour. So we can stop them through simple activities," she said.
 
The SPAK movement was launched last year by the KPK and has grown widely in Indonesia, with more than 200 SPAK agents now and the viral movement is continuing to spread. AIPJ believes that women and community members can be strong agents of change when they are given the opportunities and skills.
