This English-language research book provides an empirical and in-depth analysis of the status of the fulfillment of the constitutional rights of adherents of local/traditional beliefs (adherents of the belief in the One Supreme God) in Indonesia. This document documents various forms of legal and administrative discrimination, obstacles in civil registration (such as the religion field on ID cards), limited access to local religious education in schools, and the social stigma faced by these communities. This report aims to urge policy reforms for equitable and inclusive governance of diversity in order to protect the right to freedom of belief as a fundamental human right.
