Indonesian Women's Alliance Protest in Kebon Sirih Disperses, Traffic Returns to Normal

A group of protesters from the Aliansi Perempuan Indonesia (Indonesian Women’s Alliance) staged a long march from Dukuh Atas to the Patung Kuda area in Central Jakarta, demanding the government reduce fuel prices. The action has now concluded. According to observations at the intersection of Jalan MH Thamrin and Jalan Kebon Sirih on Thursday (18/6/2026), the crowd dispersed after delivering several speeches at the location. They disbanded around 1:30 PM local time. Police subsequently reopened the road leading to Patung Kuda from Jalan MH Thamrin, which had been temporarily diverted towards Jalan Kebon Sirih due to the protest. Traffic conditions around the Jalan MH Thamrin-Jalan Kebon Sirih intersection have now returned to normal, with vehicles able to move at regular speeds. Earlier, the demonstrators carried various props, including pots and flowers, and were dressed predominantly in pink.
