Consultant to Develop Board Game

I. Background

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organization that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And its girls who are most affected.

Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children. We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge. We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 80 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.

About the Project

Currently Yayasan Plan International Indonesia (Plan Indonesia) is implementing a four year (December 2017-November 2021) Safeguarding against and Addressing Fishers’ Exploitation at Sea Project (SAFE Seas Project) with funding from United States Department of Labor (DOL).

The project’s objective is to combat forced labor in fishing vessels in Indonesia and the Philippines. By the end of the project, SAFE Seas expects to contribute to the reduction of forced labor and human trafficking (FL/TIP) on fishing vessels in both countries. Plan Indonesia is working closely with various actors who deal with FL/TIP and fishery industry issues. At the national level, Plan Indonesia is working with the three key ministries: Manpower, Fishery and Transportation, agencies, organizations that provide support services to fishers and their families, local governments as well as civil society organizations and communities. Plan Indonesia also engages the private sector in order to seek their cooperation in complying with International anti-trafficking regulations. Through the project, Plan Indonesia also actively involving fish workers, both individually and collectively as members of fish worker unions, to combat FL/TIP.

The lack of awareness of all possible types of FL/TIP may partly be due to the Indonesian translation of forced labor, that is kerja paksa, which indicates those forcefully working under extreme violence. Based on the 2019 SAFE Seas Pre-Situational Analysis (PSA), most participants in the study perceived FL/TIP in its worst forms but fail to identify subtle or cover forms of FL/TIP practices. Thus in general, there is a lack of understanding about FL/TIP among some government officials, businesspeople, workers and community members.

To increase awareness and improve understanding among fishing vessel crew of the acceptable work conditions in the fishing industry, fish workers’ rights’ under the Indonesian law, and as FL/TIP prevention measures, SAFE Seas Project aims to develop an educational board game to support the learning experience of targeted groups in Bitung, North Sulawesi dan Tegal, Central Java.
