  • Are palm oil plantation workers protected?
  • Although a comprehensive labour legislative framework exists, enforcement of these rights is poor and palm oil plantation workers are excluded from the labour protections afforded to other sectors. Notably, many companies have remained largely silent on issues concerning the sexual assault of women on palm oil plantations.
  • Does palm oil plantation abuse human rights?
  • Her harrowing story of sexual assault mirrors a reality of consistent occurrences of human rights abuses on commercial palm oil plantations. The palm oil industry is not only a major contributor to climate change but also the stage for persistent human rights violations.
  • Why are oil palm plantations destroying Indonesia's forests?
  • Oil palm plantations are contributing to the rapid disappearance of Indonesia’s forests, and to numerous resulting conflicts over land ownership and use. Many of these disputes involve Indigenous people that live in and around the forests.
  • What if oil palm plantations fail to comply with ISPO?
  • Sanction oil palm plantations that fail to comply with the ISPO and other human rights standards. Review certification criteria and set up mechanisms to ensure traceability within palm oil’s complex supply chains. Enforce regulation requiring smallholder oil palm plantations obtain ISPO certification.
  • How have oil palm plantations affected indigenous peoples?
  • Both of these oil palm plantations have had a devastating impact on the rights of two groups of Indigenous peoples: the Ibans—a subgroup of the Dayak peoples indigenous to Borneo (Kalimantan), and the Orang Rimbas—a semi-nomadic, forest-dependent Indigenous people in central Sumatra.
  • Are palm oil plantations sexually assaulted?
  • Notably, many companies have remained largely silent on issues concerning the sexual assault of women on palm oil plantations. In Sumatra in November 2020 a 16-year-old girl described how she was attacked by her boss and taken to a remote part of the plantation hidden amid the trees.
