Redjang (Indonesia) |  AKAR Global Initiative  

Dinar is a feminist organizer and researcher from Bengkulu, Sumatra, Indonesia, who works with grassroots and Indigenous women defending forest, coastal, and agricultural commons across Indonesia. Through more than a decade of community organizing, agrarian research, and coalition building at Akar Global Inisiatif, she has documented how women's everyday practices of land stewardship, collective care, and cultural knowledge form the living threads of an alternative economy — one that has sustained people and ecosystems long before it had a name. 

At this exchange, she brings the experience of the 2026 Rebuilding the Commons Conference, where Indigenous and grassroots women from across Indonesia wove together four pillars — commoning land, care, culture, and movement — as the foundation of a system that can genuinely sustain both people and planet.
