The IWMF's Mission is to strengthen the role of women in the news media worldwide.
Like many journalists, Bektiati was unable to find work in Indonesia and, in 1995, moved to Australia. She returned to Jakarta in 1996 and helped form the Institute for the Study of Free Flow of Information, researching and writing books on current affairs.
Bektiati continued writing about politics - often under an assumed by-line - and covered the protests leading up to the fall of Suharto and installation of President Habibie in 1998.
The new government has instituted modest reforms and in late 1998, Tempo was re-established. Bektiati has returned to her position with the magazine.
