That in order to establish a systematic, measurable, and sustainable Movement, a pattern of movement development is needed. Which consists of:
1. Capacity Development: Education and capacity building of people's legal aid assistants
- Critical Education: Education as a process to represent the transformation of human consciousness from powerless and passive to critically aware and capable of making change.
- Organizing: A collective process in the community to formulate common goals and design strategies and stages of achievement. The entire process is built on open, participatory, and inclusive stages.
- Critical Legal Education: A process of legal education for the community aimed at developing the ability to analyze law critically, by considering the political, economic, social, and cultural conditions that operate and influence society.
- Supporting skills and knowledge: These supporting skills and knowledge must be based on the needs, challenges, and threats faced by the People's Legal Aid Assistants (PHR) and their communities. To acquire such knowledge and skills, various methods and resources can be used, either independently by the PHR or their communities, or facilitated by other actors.
- Cross-facilitation between PHRs and between communities as a form of capacity strengthening and at the same time strengthening communities, organizations, and networks.
- Other forms of capacity development owned or developed by the community.
- Capacity development and educational processes for PHRs must not abandon the results of previous development, education, and capacity-building processes that already exist, documented in various forms including educational modules and other documents.
2. Organizational and Network Development
In order to achieve the shared goal of legal reform, PHRs must be consolidated into a major force. Therefore, efforts are needed to strengthen, expand, and mobilize the PHR network. To achieve this, the following steps are necessary:
- Organizing networks that can connect individual PHRs, communities, as well as PHRs and communities with other networks that share the same vision. In practice and experience, these networks are organized in various forms in each region, according to the conditions, situations, and resources available in each region. However, the diversity of organizations and their working mechanisms must be bound by shared values that serve as the foundation for the work of the PHRs.
- To maintain bonds, values, and work flows of accompaniment, national-level coordinators are needed who will connect with coordinators in each region. The positions of these coordinators are equal to each other and have a coordinating function and nature.
- The tasks of each coordinator are: first, to maintain motivation, increase participation, and encourage effective communication in their respective regions; second, to identify the potential, capacity, and strengths of PHRs so they can be maximally utilized in carrying out people's legal aid work; third, to help facilitate the resolution of obstacles that PHRs have not yet overcome; fourth, to explore and build opportunities for cooperation and collaboration based on the interests of PHRs, people’s legal defense, as well as legal defense for the people; and fifth, to facilitate processes of documentation, preservation, and development of knowledge possessed by people's legal aid assistants or the people’s law itself.
- Maintaining and nurturing PHR education alumni and existing PHRs in various forms, whether through communication media, regular meetings, or capacity building.
- Regeneration of PHRs at all levels and work areas.
3. Legal defense for the people, defense of people's law, and Legal Reform
- All efforts undertaken in the defense of the people, people's law, and legal reform must be carried out in a participatory, transparent manner and using a rights-based approach.
- These defense efforts may include all measures permitted by state law at all levels as well as other efforts developed by people's law.
4. Knowledge Management
- Conducting mapping and documentation of PHRs and their work results through various media. This mapping and documentation process is intended as an effort to preserve, develop, and manage knowledge as well as people’s laws.
- Processing and disseminating knowledge and people’s laws so that they can be used for the greatest benefit of the people through various means and infrastructures.
- Returning documented knowledge and people’s law, whether by PHRs or others, so that they can be used and utilized by their rightful owners.
- The mapping and documentation process, as stated in points a to c, must still be based on the well-being and safety of society.
