A poll conducted by the Seventeen Pioneer Foundation (PP17) within the Kawula17 initiative reveals that Indonesian youth in mid-2025 were aware of several civil liberty and political rights issues.

Past or serious human rights (HR) violations were the most widely known topic, with 48% awareness. The research team noted this figure remained unchanged from the previous semester. However, this awareness was not evenly distributed across all groups.

"Young people aged 26–30 years (44%) showed significantly lower awareness of this issue," the research team wrote in their National Benchmark Survey report on August 21, 2025.

Next, bills strengthening law enforcement authority were cited by 44% of respondents. Threats to digital rights followed at 40%. Similar to HR violations, information on these two issues was not evenly distributed across all groups.

Bills strengthening law enforcement include the newly enacted TNI Law, the Polri Bill, and the Draft Criminal Procedure Code (RKUHAP).

The 1998 sexual violence also remained prominent in the memory of Indonesian youth, with 39% awareness. This was followed by restrictions on freedom of expression and the criminalization of students, at 36% and 35% respectively.

Other issues were known by less than 30% of respondents. These civil liberty and political rights issues included repressive police actions, journalist intimidation, restrictions on religious freedom or worship, historical revisionism, and others.

According to the research team, differing political viewpoints also shaped the variation in youth awareness.

"Those considered highly progressive were more aware of civil liberty and political rights issues compared to young people considered conservative," wrote the Kawula17 team.

This, the research team continued, suggests that exposure to HR issues is influenced by political viewpoints, shaping the level of youth awareness.

The survey involved 1,342 respondents aged 17-35, spread across Java (60%), Sumatra (19%), Sulawesi (8%), Kalimantan (6%), Nusa Tenggara (6%), and other regions (2%). The gender composition was 49% female and 51% male.

The majority of respondents were private sector employees and civil servants (37%), followed by housewives (16%), students (11%), recent graduates (9%), and others (26%).

The survey was conducted from July 10-17, 2025, using the computer-assisted self-interviewing (CASI) method, or online survey.
