Recently we attended discussions on sustainable energy for development and the drivers of climate change.
We highlighted how people, planet, peace, and prosperity are interconnected by nature – we are constantly giving and receiving from one another as inhabitants of one homeland, and together, we comprise a single ecosystem.

Today, the call for a harmonious and sustainable ecosystem is growing louder as humanity experiences the grave effects of climate change. While much of this destruction stems from human activities, we also see sincere efforts by individuals and communities emerging to safeguard the planet. They require a systematic and collaborative approach involving diverse stakeholders at all levels of society. While policies for green energy are being put in place, equally important is the genuine willingness of individuals, institutions, and communities to transform our perspective toward the planet, and to take action that reflects the highest aspirations of humanity.

The BIC Jakarta Office recently met with UN Women Indonesia in Jakarta.
—
The exchange deepened our collective understanding of the reality of the women’s agenda and the significance of gender equality and women’s empowerment in strengthening the nation’s resilience, sustaining inclusive development, and contributing to peace and unity at all levels.
It is exciting to learn about the UN Women Indonesia Strategic Plan 2026-2030 as a pathway to embed gender equality and women’s empowerment through a whole-of-society approach — not only by strengthening institutional and financial capacity, but also by driving cultural transformation.

With hopeful perspectives, we are committed to advancing this agenda by strengthening collaboration among different stakeholders at different levels.

Peacebuilding Week: Celebrating Fellowship and Partnership
From dialogues with like minded organizations to shared spaces with youth, civil society, and government — each moment is a thread in the fabric of collaboration.
~
Peace cannot rest on treaties alone. It requires a fundamental shift in how we relate to one another as a society.

What fundamental principles guide our relationships — with each other, with institutions, with the wider community?

On this International Day of Families, the Bahá’í International Community reflects on the role of the family in contributing to the betterment of society.

The family is where we first learn qualities such as justice, compassion, cooperation, and mutual support. As these qualities are nurtured within families, they extend outward into neighbourhoods, communities, and society as a whole.

This vision resonates with the Bandar Seri Begawan Declaration adopted by Member States, which stresses the importance of strengthening family–community partnerships and promoting the role of families in fostering greater unity, solidarity, and resilient communities.

As we reflect on the role of family in society, may we consider how the family unit can become a source of unity, participation, and collective well-being.

The Bahá’í International Community (BIC), Jakarta Office is delighted to join the 70th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations with the priority theme focused on ensuring and strengthening access to justice for all women and girls. Aside of attending variety of events, we were honored to speak at a session organized by NGO CSW/NY Working Group on Peace & Gender Equality on “Mobilizing and Advocating for Peace: Women and Girls as Part of the Solution” and a session organized by the Tzu Chi Foundation on “Invisible Voices: Female Migrant Domestic Workers (FMDW) & Girls Left Behind”. Through these opportunities, the Office tries to offer insights generated by the grassroot experience from Southeast Asia.

The commission has been a great space to collectively assess the concept of justice in different social settings–from the family to the workplace, in institutions and in international cooperation.

Statement of the BIC to the 70th Session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women stated “A social order that is built on justice—in policy and legislation, in culture and practice—is one that ultimately benefits everyone of its members, men as well as women, boys as well as girls.”

At the 13th Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development in Bangkok, delegates from the Baha’i International Community Jakarta Office joined regional conversations reflecting on how we can collectively contribute to advancing more just, peaceful, and sustainable societies.

As diverse actors such as governments, civil society, youth, faith communities, and indigenous communities work to address shared challenges, what conditions will enable these efforts to move beyond parallel action toward more coherent and coordinated contributions to the common good?

What conditions enable meaningful youth participation to flourish?

In December 2025, the Baha’i International Community Jakarta Office hosted a hybrid regional consultative space in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore on envisioning the roadmap for meaningful youth participation in Southeast Asia.

As we move forward, how can we build collective awareness of peace and security that moves beyond the absence of war and violence to truly reflect the lived realities and aspirations of the youth?
