Jurnal Perempuan is published by Yayasan Jurnal Perempuan (The Women’s Foundation) since 1996. YJP was established in 1995 as a nonprofit organization intended to empower and enforce women's rights through education, research, and publishing. The organization published Jurnal Perempuan as the first feminist journal in Indonesia since 1996. The journal, read by students, policymakers, intellectuals, academics, and social movement activists, consists of more than 600 subscribers. 

Dr. Gadis Arivia primarily founded YJP, a feminist and philosophy lecturer at the University of Indonesia 1992-2016, with the kind support from Dr. Ida Dhanny, Askin Arif, MA, and Prof. Dr. Toeti Heraty as firm believers of the pluralist Indonesian society. The organization saw the need to examine gender issues in Indonesia to support feminist discourse in Indonesia and activism. Today, YJP is widely known and respected in Indonesian political, academic, and activist circles.

Focus and Scope

Jurnal Perempuan (JP) uses its publications for advocacy on gender issues in Indonesia. JP believes in research-based advocacy. JP regularly organizes training and information sessions for the public covering domestic violence, women in conflict zones, political and economic rights, trafficking, migrant workers, minority rights, and tolerance building. In addition, Jurnal Perempuan has documented Indonesian women's stories, ensuring their voices are heard through Video Jurnal Perempuan (VJP) now VJP-Youtube and radio programs (RJP). Jurnal Perempuan also takes pride in its history of creating immediate public pressures by participating in protests and lobbying work.
