AB The focus of this chapter are micro-ruptures resulting from refugee activism initiated for and by refugees in Malaysia and Indonesia. These two Southeast Asian countries have not acceded to the International Refugee Convention but host substantial numbers of refugees and are both affected by Australia’s externalised border and migration regime. Neither country has domestic asylum legislation, nor do they offer durable solutions or intend to offer effective refugee protection for the foreseeable future. This leaves the non-government sector with a large range of essential tasks in relation to refugees. In addition, refugees have also organised themselves along ethnic lines and according to causes and events. While refugee activism has contributed to political change in both countries, individual stakeholder contribution to change is often hard to measure. By contrasting selected cases of refugee activism, covering refugee-led activism and caretaker activism, as well as rights-based and humanitarian approaches, this chapter offers insights regarding the scope, visibility, impact and sustainability of different initiatives as well as unintended side-effects of refugee activism, such as ethnic competition, corruption and public backlashes.
