Abstract

This community engagement program is grounded in the persistent limitations in fulfilling female inmates’ right to health within correctional institutions, particularly in relation to reproductive health services, mental health care, and the low level of awareness among inmates regarding their fundamental health rights, despite the demands of national regulations and international standards that require gender-responsive services. The program aims to enhance female inmates’ understanding of their right to health at the Women’s Correctional Facility Class IIA Pontianak, with a specific focus on vulnerable groups, namely pregnant and breastfeeding inmates. The activity involved 40 female inmates, including 4 who were pregnant and 3 who were breastfeeding. The method employed was Participatory Action Research (PAR), implemented through focus group discussions (FGD), facility observations, interviews with correctional officers, and simple pre-test and post-test assessments to measure participants’ level of understanding. The results indicate a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge of health rights, including reproductive health services, mental health, and complaint mechanisms within the correctional system. In addition, the program also strengthened the capacity of correctional officers in understanding the importance of gender-responsive services.
