Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Human Rights is preparing to\npublish data on human rights complaint services submitted by the public,\nwhile protecting victims\u2019 identities and privacy. The initiative is part\nof efforts to increase transparency and strengthen data-based\npolicymaking.<\/p>\n
Deputy Human Rights Minister Mugiyanto said the publication is one of\nthree groups of data being prepared through One Data for Human Rights\nIndonesia. The other groups cover Human Rights-Aware Villages and\nassessments of whether draft legislation at national and regional levels\nconforms to human rights principles.<\/p>\n
\u201cHuman rights data, especially complaints involving victims, cannot\nsimply be shared with the public. We must protect citizens\u2019 privacy and\nindividual privacy,\u201d Mugiyanto said at the launch of the One Data for\nHuman Rights Indonesia publication in Jakarta on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
He stressed that data transparency must go hand in hand with\ninformation security, particularly when dealing with individuals who\nhave suffered violence or submitted complaints to the ministry.<\/p>\n
Mugiyanto said accurate, integrated data is needed to identify\ncommunities affected by human rights issues, locate the problems and\ndetermine appropriate interventions based on their needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the data is wrong, the policy will inevitably be wrong. In the\nend, it will not reach the community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He cited the risk that inaccurate data could cause government\nprogrammes to miss their intended recipients. For example, a community\nhealth post could be built in a village that already has one, while a\nvillage in greater need goes without the service.<\/p>\n
The ministry is therefore seeking to integrate human rights data into\nIndonesia\u2019s One Data system, so that data across ministries, agencies\nand local governments follows common standards and can be exchanged to\nsupport policymaking.<\/p>\n
Mugiyanto acknowledged that data-sharing still faces obstacles,\nincluding institutional silos and administrative requirements such as\nmemorandums of understanding and co-operation agreements, which can\ndeter agencies from sharing information.<\/p>\n
He said he hoped a stronger legal framework for Indonesia\u2019s One Data\nsystem would simplify data-sharing and encourage collaboration between\ninstitutions.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Human Rights, he added, is ready to work with the\nmanagers of Indonesia\u2019s One Data system and data stewards at ministries\nand agencies.<\/p>\n
Through these measures, the government is expected to use accurate\ndata to identify public needs, improve programme delivery and make\nefforts to respect, protect, fulfil, uphold and advance human rights\nmore effective.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/human-rights-ministry-prepares-public-complaints-data-while-protecting-privacy-1793087649", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
