DSW Evaluation Report
The District Support Worker evaluation report was conducted in 2009 by a consultant to review the effectiveness, impact and sustainability of interventions to date and provide the Alola Foundation with reccomendations.
Yayasan Pecinta Budaya Bebali (YPBB), Threads of Life (TOL) and Esperanza Timor-Leste which all focus on economic development through communiy-based revival of the traditional textile arts, have been trying to establish a working relationship between the networks of weavers that they served since 2006. Although political problems and social unrest in Timor-Leste have disrupted this process, YPBB/TOL and Esperanza continue to seek deeper ties due to the logic of reconnecting Indonesian and Timor-Leste weavers from closely related cultural, ethnic and language groups, and the opportunity to participate in building peace and reconciliation between Indonesia and Timor-Leste. For ten days in May 2009, two YPBB staff and three TOL staff visited textiles weaving groups in Lautem, Baucau, and Bobonaro along with a visit to basket makers in Liquica and Lautem to make an initial assessment and to plan future collaborations. This report focuses on that visit and YPBB’s observations and recommendations.
In October 2004, the Alola Foundation proudly published the first report into trafficking for sexual exploitation in Timor-Leste. The report is entitled: “Trafficking in Timor-Leste: A Look into the Newest Nation’s Sex Industry” and is the first base-line study to be published on this issue in Timor-Leste.
The study was conducted by the Alola Foundation Outreach Team between March to June 2004. During this period, the study found 115 women in Dili who were identified as potential trafficking victims. These women were recruited from Indonesia (30), China (35), Thailand (30) and the Philippines (20). Many were recruited for waitressing or cleaning jobs, only to be pressured into prostitution upon arrival in Dili. Many work under controlled conditions and are unable to leave their workplace without the permission of the ‘manager’ who retains their passport. There are no services currently available to assist these women, who remain isolated and continually exploited. To date, the police response has been simply to arrest and deport the women, without making any effort to tackle the trafficking network.
