Eti Oktaviani

Eti’s advocacy work with Semarang Legal Aid Institute involves both litigation and non-litigation. In the process of litigation, she prepares information required in court proceedings. This involves meeting with the legal team, collecting documents to be used as evidence, locating and preparing witnesses and participating in the drafting of relevant documents. The non litigation advocacy includes campaigning to raise awareness of the issues and cases, networking and monitoring the court. LAI Semarang is a local institution in Semarang and while their advocacy targes local and national support Eti believes it would be valuable to build international support. She believes it is important to know the mechanisms and international human rights standards and how these can be implemented by her organisation.
