Westerlaken foundation / Yayasan Bali Bersih files official complaint at New York Times.

Writer: Rodney WesterlakenRodney Westerlaken

On July 20th the New York Times published an article with the title 'With Tourists Gone, Bali Workers Return to Farms and Fishing'. The article can be read here.


As foundation we are disappointed that the article is not reflecting the current, desperate situation on the island, creates the wrong tendency towards current funding for NGO’s and communities trying to relieve those effected by the emergency and by the fact that the article sets a disposition for future tourism which is unjust.


We have filed an official complaint to the New York Times. The complaint can be read here.

The Stop Orphanages Campaign is an initiative spearheaded by Westerlaken Foundation and Yayasan Bali Bersih. Its primary objective is to combat the exploitation of children and the use of orphanages as a means of personal gain, and children as a marketing tool. While we acknowledge that there are Child Welfare Institutions (LKSA) in Indonesia that genuinely prioritize the well-being of children, extensive research reveals that a majority of orphanages in Bali, Indonesia operate in violation of the National Standard for Child Welfare Institutions (30/HUK/2011). This standard explicitly prohibits the institutionalization of children based on poverty or limited access to education, as well as emphasizes the importance of empowering families and preventing the recruitment of children into orphanages.
