Fractured Soul in Jerebuu: A Social Critique from the Nation’s Edge
This article examines the tragic death of a child in Jerebuu as a lens to expose deep structural inequalities in Indonesia.

Drawing on the concept of Johan Galtung’s structural violence, the piece argues that the tragedy reflects systemic neglect and calls for urgent, equitable reforms in education and governance.
