What problems (particularly in value chain competitiveness and global disruption) are your community’s stakeholders facing due to the Covid-19 pandemic?
In Indonesia, 94% victims of online harassment during “work-from-home” keep their pain alone, over 3000+ cases of child abuse during quarantine and online abuse cases leapt by 300% during COVID-19 outbreak.
Majority of cyberbullying victims are mainly coming from minority groups. That the same issues like in Indonesia, since the COVID-19 pandemic hits the country, our live chat full of stories about online racism, mainly from Chinese Indonesian roots. On top of emotional support, we also educate our visitors about legal consequences that we have according to Indonesia's laws and policies, technical support (things how to report/block or restrict account on Social media platform) as well as intervention processes.
We also understand that many expatriates and asylum seekers/refugees who also have to be quarantined in Indonesia, this is why we see the importance for having English and Bahasa supports, which also providing relevant and authorized information regarding COVID-19 issues in Indonesia which mainly in Bahasa. We have received many requests simply where to go if they have symptoms of COVID-19, which hospitals that can accommodate them and what exactly the updates in the local news.
What minimum viable solution(s) are you proposing to address the challenge(s) in your community?
We dedicate this platform to bring equality and justice accessible for everyone by raising awareness towards mental health and law enforcement. With over 3000 cases in online harassment and gender-based violence during lockdown, we wish to make this project continuously and adding feature of Revenge Porn Help Centre, to help collaboratively with social media companies to take down image abuse contents and Self-Screening Intimate Partner Violence (with AI integration).
Our missions are to increase resilience and reduce vulnerability of society to physical, mental and online abuse cases. Bringing equality and justice accessible for everyone by raising awareness towards mental health and law enforcement. Media coverage can be seen at: http://bullyid.org/press/

BACKGROUND
While women make up the vast majority, in terms of sheer numbers, of those who have experience rape or sexual assault, we must also consider the high risk for gender and sexual minorities (GSM) and racial and ethnic minorities. During COVID-19, things are getting worst.
We have been receiving many people came anonymously through our live chat platform. In Indonesia, 94% victims of online harassment during "work-from-home" keep their pain all alone, over 3000 cases of child abuse during quarantine and online abuse cases leapt by 300% during COVID-19.
This shows how much a platform like this is in demand, I have been invited to speak in different platforms, received supports to continue the work and media which supporting our journey building Bullyid platforms in Indonesia.
We believe a simple gesture knowing that someone out there is listening, supporting and comforting mean a lot for survivors and victims out there. We have been dedicating Bullyid to be remain free platform that openly for public, where people can speak freely and anonymously.
RELEVANCE
Providing emotional support is extremely crucial to support people during COVID-19 outbreak. Although our trained volunteers are not licensed psychologist, we have been providing Psychology First Aid, to help people mitigating stress, provide safety, comforting and connect them with relevant information.
With relevancy of issues that has been coming to us were having the legal consequences, we are also providing legal knowledge support to let victims aware on their rights and encourage them to report to police if needed and provide relevant information required; taking screenshots from social media, report/block and who they can contact further.
Adding features:
Revenge Porn Help Centre
With 35% of cases we receive are mainly concerning about intimate image-abuse, and social media platforms are normally taking-time to take down a reported content, we believe we could work collaboratively with social media companies to take-down "revenge porn" content.
In this context, we are not only providing emotional and legal knowledge supports but also technically help victims to take-down the videos/images that circulated online without their consent.

Self-Screening Intimate Partner Violence
Based on the cases we receive, considering the culture and majority religion background in the country, we observe majority of women and girls above 18+ years old do not aware on the boundaries within their relationships. As majority of people who came complaining their partners being abusive and they tend to feel ok about it.
We would like to integrate Artificial Intelligence using NLP to enable people to check, learn to spot abusive behaviour and signs from their partners. The AI integration we find it important as our volunteers will not be able to respond immediately, and majority of abusive cases came after 10pm.
Using chat-bot will be the best solution to tackle this case.

Your Final Proposal for challenge
yes
Dear Agita, this is a welcome idea considering that Covi19 is really complicating the mental health issues as well as the impact on bullying. Is this a first or has there been a similar idea done elsewhere. Good luck and well done.
Good initiative. How will you measure the impact of your project?
Hi Agita. Your idea is tackling a real issue that needs to be addressed. However, how do you plan to sustain the initiative?
Yes Yes Yes. Please include delivery of service via ussd too
Hi Agita. This is a very thoughtful idea to address bullying. I liked that you also included intimate partner violence which is a very sensitive issue that many women feel stuck and shy away from reporting such violence especially when they are scared to get divorce afraid to loose their bread winners. You did mention that you have trained volunteers who aren't necessarily licensed psychologists, do you perhaps plan to establish partnerships with psychologists, social workers or child protection services who can assist effectively?
Also, i like the idea of using pattern recognition to be able to respond to chats post 10 pm. I am just a little bit worried about whether the chat bots will be able to meet the emotional needs of your clients considering that AI customer facing solutions and chat bots still face the challenge of misinterpreting emotions and sentiments. Even if they get the emotions right, they may still struggle to address the underlying issues that only a human can get to through more probing. Not to say it can't be done, but certainly your team would have to invest in lots and loads of training to get it working.
Another thing is the sensitivity of data. How does the platform support anonymity and ensure the protection of sensitive data especially with your data protection bill coming up? How about chat bot security as the collected data will be transmitted over the internet for processing before feedback is given to the client.
On another note, I think it'd be also ideal to invest in a mobile office that will reach out to rural areas where connectivity is still an issue because really, that is where much of abuse is but people don't have the means to get help.
Otherwise, many thanks for this platform and hope many of us here can benchmark from it.
Hello Agita
Great initiative raising such a sensitive topic.
How are you planning to have security of data and quick reports done by the women through your platform ?Also what measures are you taking to identify the rural and interior community who might not know where to report the incident or rather have no smart phone devices.
Best Regards.
Hello Agita, I have 2 question, 1. what is your business model? 2. Why didn't you trying to develop a mobile application for helping more people.
I really like your idea. I have already visited your website, which impressed me even more. How many sources can a victims report to you? What can be your global base Scalability plan?
Hi Agita,
It is an amazing initiative that you are running! It is really clear from the information you have provided that you understand the needs of your community and how to best support them.
As a charity, how have you funded yourself up to this point and how do you plan to fundraise?
It’s great you included all the coverage you have received it really validates your idea. Do you have any specific data about the users you have already supported and the traction you have had to the platform?
It would also be really good to hear about how you see your project growing and who would be the key stakeholders/partners that could support your initiative?
Good Luck!

Hello, this is a great idea and wonderful implementation strategy. How have you managed to ensure the enforcement of arrests of identified GSM defaulters??
Hello Agita, thumbs up to you. We need more people like you in this world to make it a better place for all especially for women. The COVID-19 crisis and social distancing measures have caused deep concerns about their impact on women in abusive relationships. In terms of business perspective how do you intend to sustain your project? All the best
