The 4th International Conference on Indigenous Religions: “Inclusive Democracy: Equality and Justice for All”
Democracy, in its ideal form, promises to be the most effective political system for inclusion. Its procedures give opportunities for all individuals and groups to be heard, understood, and considered in policymaking. It upholds human rights, and so guarantees protection for the excluded, the discriminated against, and the persecuted. Democratic states like Indonesia have passed regulations to guarantee human rights for all citizens. Yet indigenous people in Indonesia and beyond continue to fight for equal rights. They remain excluded from many political processes, mostly ignored in policymaking, and largely denied from socio-cultural participation. Their religions are culturalized and profaned, their traditions are primitivized, their knowledge and worldviews are irrationalized, their territories are occupied, their lands and forests are grabbed by corporations, and their citizenship status remains colonialized.
