[wanabidii] Together we did it!

		Hope for those shackled in Indonesia   Follow us on:       Human Rights Watch & five shackling survivors from Cianjur, Indonesia. © 2016 Human Rights Watch Dear Yona,   Last month we launched our #BreakTheChains campaign asking YOU to call on the government of Indonesia to make mental health medication more available. Human Rights Watch's reporting exposed the shackling of 18,000 people with psychosocial disabilities (mental health conditions) in Indonesia. Many are locked up in chains or animal pens, sometimes for decades, in part because the government has refused to supply adequate mental health medication and services.   Thousands of you showed your support by emailing and tweeting Indonesia’s health minister with our call to make mental health medication readily available.   Now we have some good news!    We just met with Indonesia's Minister of Health, Nila Moeloek, and she promised that the government will provide mental health medication in ALL 9,500 community health centers across the country. This important outcome could turn the tide against shackling.   Human Rights Watch will not rest until this promise is fulfilled.   Without your support we could never have achieved this.   HELP US SHARE THE GOOD NEWS!      Thank you!   Kriti Sharma, Researcher, Disability Rights Division Human Rights Watch     Follow us on:     Home | Take Action | Privacy | Manage Preferences Unsubscribe Human Rights Watch - 350 Fifth Avenue, 34th Floor New York, NY 10118 USA Tel: +1 (212) 290-4700 | news@hrw.org
