Bella Aubree

Inti Muda, Indonesia

National Coordinator

Indonesia

Bella Aubree was born in Bandung, Indonesia, on June 9, 2002. She is a youth advocate working on HIV, sexual and reproductive health, and the rights of young key populations in Indonesia.

Bella began her activism at the age of 15 after seeing the challenges faced by teenagers in her neighborhood, particularly related to sexual and reproductive health, access to education, and violence. These early experiences shaped her commitment to youth advocacy.

At 16, Bella was diagnosed with HIV. Rather than withdrawing, she chose to speak up and challenge stigma and misinformation around HIV and LGBTQ+ communities. Since then, she has been actively involved in HIV advocacy, peer support, and community education. She works closely with young transgender people living with HIV, providing peer support and promoting access to treatment, care, and prevention. Bella also delivers HIV prevention information to young people more broadly to support informed and safer choices.

Bella currently leads Inti Muda Indonesia, a national network of young key populations and young people living with HIV. Through this network, she oversees empowerment programs, campaigns, advocacy initiatives, and research focused on young key populations in Indonesia.

In addition to her national work, Bella is actively engaged at the international level. She serves on the CSO Advisory Committee at the United Nations Indonesia, the HIV Response Sustainability Advisory Committee at UNAIDS Headquarters, and the Global Fund Youth Council.

Bella has extensive experience in youth-led advocacy and strategic engagement with civil society, donors, and international institutions. In 2023, she participated in the International HIV Adolescent Workshop in Zambia and was selected as a panelist in a youth advocacy session, where she shared perspectives from Indonesia and Southeast Asia on adolescent leadership, access to sexual and reproductive health services, and structural barriers faced by young people.
