About KontraS
KontraS is a task force formed by a number of civil society organizations and community leaders. This task force was originally called KIP-HAM which was formed in 1996. In several meetings with the victims’ communities, the idea emerged to form an institution that specifically handles cases of enforced disappearances as a response to the practice of violence that continues to occur and has claimed many victims. Subsequently, it was agreed to establish a commission to handle cases of missing persons and victims of violence under the name KontraS.
In its journey, KontraS not only handles the problem of kidnapping and enforced disappearances, but is also asked by the victim community to handle various forms of violence that occur both vertically and horizontally. Subsequently, it developed into an independent organization and participated in exposing violent practices and human rights violations as a result of abuse of power.
