The ASEAN Civil Society Conference/ ASEAN Peoples Kuala Lumpur October 2025.

ACSC/APF 2025 convened in Kuala Lumpur under the theme “The Hidden ASEAN.”

27 online workshops were conducted across eight convergence space themes, engaging over 1,130 diverse participants. In addition, over 330 participants and 66 civil society organisations from across Southeast Asia, came together during the in-person #ACSCAPF2025 to amplify the voices and struggles too often unseen — calling for democracy, human rights, peace, and justice across the region.

The Joint Statement urges ASEAN and its dialogue partners to stand with the people — not perpetrators — and to build a truly people-centered ASEAN rooted in solidarity, accountability, and dignity.
