Community-based early warning and early treatment systems

Since 2014/2015, a total of 2,137 Indonesians joined ISin Iraq and Syria. Of these, 5% have died in conflict zones, while 37% have returned to Indonesia—70% of whom are women and children. However, 58% remain stranded in refugee camps across Syria and Iraq. This situation highlights the ongoing risk of violent extremism recruitment and the need for robust community-based efforts to prevent further radicalization.

Yayasan Empatiku has been leading efforts to build community resilience through fostering social cohesion and strengthening the community's ability to deter and resist Violent Extremism by establishing community-based early warning and early treatment systems.

By increasing their resilience, the community can take precautions so that the people are not trapped in the process of radicalization.
