Following a historic win in the Indonesian Supreme Court earlier this year by the Indonesian ban asbestos network, which resulted in a court order for all asbestos materials to display health warning labelling, asbestos roof sheet manufacturers in Indonesia are suing all those who brought the case to the Supreme Court for damages.
The Indonesian campaign against asbestos has achieved a landmark victory in a recent Supreme Court case advocating for mandatory labelling of asbestos-containing materials, highlighting the risks of exposure.
Thanks to the solidarity of hundreds of unionists around Australia, together we have raised more than $100,000 for COVID-19 resilience projects!

In Indonesia, APHEDA is working with local partners to ramp up efforts to win an asbestos ban.
