This event aims to encourage people of Indonesia, especially the youth to be aware of May 1998 tragedy in which the riot led to looting, violence, rape, and also missing people. This case needs to be solved immediately so that victims can have their rights. People must know that the affected families are still waiting for the truth and justice that has not been revealed over the past 17 years. As the campaign slogan says, “Hear Their Voices, Give Them Justice”.(Sheren Audina & Power Young)
