FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Geneva, Switzerland – 3 March 2026  International Bridges to Justice (IBJ) will host the virtual premiere of its short documentary, “Beats of Justice,” on 3 March 2026 (13:00 CET / 07:00 ET / 19:00 Jakarta / 20:00 Bali/Kupang/Singapore), in recognition of International Women’s Day.

The film follows Indonesian defense lawyer Joan Patricia Walu Riwu Kaho (“Puput”) of LBH APIK Kupang in East Nusa Tenggara as she defends a sexual assault survivor accused of adultery, highlighting the systemic barriers women face in accessing justice.

The premiere will be followed by a live panel discussion, where we will be joined by Puput herself, and a Q&A. Speakers include:

  • Sandrine Giroud, President of the Geneva Bar Association (ODAGE)
  • Joan Patricia Walu Sudjiati Riwu Kaho (“Puput”), Protagonist/IBJ JusticeMakers Fellow
