- Yesi was a perpetrator of violence until he began learning about gender equality.
- Yesi was connected with Oxfam's partner organisation in Indonesia, the Konsorsium Timor Adil dan Setara. The organisation promotes gender equality by increasing women’s economic empowerment, promoting women’s political participation, decision-making and leadership, and reducing violence against women and girls.
- Yesi is now an advocate for women’s rights and inclusion in his village. He does more domestic work and helps his partner around the home.
What I tried to change was, I slowly changed myself. I helped with everything. I was the one taking water from the well. For wood, I gathered them too. For cooking, when my wife woke up late at times, I cooked.
