Riris is a counselor with experience in providing psychosocial assistance to marginalized and vulnerable groups, including children, migrant workers, women workers, and victims of sexual violence. From 2017 to 2018, she served as a facilitator, assisting children living in Makassar and Maros penitentiaries. In 2019, along with some friends with a background in psychology, she initiated a community called “Bernafas Baik”, aimed at providing psychological support to marginalized groups in South Sulawesi. Establishing this community allowed them to efficiently and strategically pursue their mission.

In 2020, Riris focused on assisting KBMB in providing psychosocial support and advocating for women migrant workers deportees in Nunukan, North Kalimantan. In 2023, she actively supported a union in conducting Feminist Participatory Action Research (FPAR) on the working conditions of women workers in a textile factory in Bekasi, West Java. During the same year, Riris assisted KBMB in organizing undocumented women migrant workers in Sabah, Malaysia.

With a degree in psychology and a master's degree in Gender & Development Studies from Hasanuddin University, Riris is passionate about community development. She has over five years of experience in grassroots community development using a psychology-based approach. The objective of her current program is to gain insights into the provision of diverse psychosocial support to women migrant workers in Bulukumba, South Sulawesi and the role of civil society organizations in supporting migrant workers.
