JAKARTA - A group of women from Depok and South Jakarta opened free food and beverage stalls on Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, to be precise in front of the PT Indosat Headquarters building, Monas Horse Statue Area, Central Jakarta on Thursday, February 20, 2025.
Free food stalls are devoted to students and female students participating in the "Illicit Indonesia" demonstration in front of the State Palace. The food stall was opened at around 15.30 WIB.
Uniquely, this free food comes from the collective results of the mothers who support the actions of the students.
They considered that they could not participate in demonstrations, so to support these activities they were willing to prepare free food.
"We are from our respective homes. We are actually just mothers. Then because we saw today's brothers and sisters want to demo. We want to donate, but all we can donate is just food. So we come here to bring food, encourage the younger siblings," said Nada, one of the mothers who volunteered for free food to VOI at the location.
Nada said that although he wanted to join the demonstration, his age was no longer possible.
"We can't afford to be there (at the demonstration), so we can afford to give them food. Support this activity," he said.
Nada admitted that he agreed with the 9 demands brought by students from BEM SI in today's Indonesia Dark action.
