Agita: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! During the COVID-19 pandemic, something else was silently escalating on our little planet: cyber harassment and online gender-based violence. Sadly, victims had nowhere to turn for help. It was a tough time, with isolation on one hand and increased online vulnerabilities on the other. We saw a gap—a big one—for confidential, accessible support. So, we launched Bullyid App, aiming to be a digital beacon of hope. We aim to provide victims with robust online mental health support, legal advice, and tech solutions to keep them safe and sound in the digital realm. It's about turning the tables on cyber harassment, giving power back to those who felt powerless.

Afu Utami: Providing Indonesia’s Voters with Relevant and Accessible Information

Afu: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! In the 2024 elections, there are 107 million voters under the age of 40, making up 52% of the total voter pool in Indonesia. 70% of them are anxious about multiple issues, but only 8% self-identify as politically engaged. This is caused by the lack of credible and accessible political information, along with the missing link between issue-based political processes. Bijak Memilih addresses this by providing digestible and relevant information that they need to know to make informed choices.
