Marlina Flassy

Marlina Flassy (born 1968) is an Indonesian Papuan anthropologist, who is the first woman to hold a deanship at Cenderawasih University, and is the first woman and indigenous Papuan to be appointed Dean of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences there. In 2015 the Indonesian Ministry of Research and Technology awarded her its Golden Pin Award.

Biography Flassy was born on 15 March 1968 in Seribau, near Teminabuan, South Sorong Regency, West Irian (currently the province of Southwest Papua). She attended YPK Kotaraja Junior High School and then FX Taruna Dharma Kotaraja Catholic High School. She studied for an undergraduate degree in anthropology at Cenderawasih University in Jayapura, graduating in 1995. She had previously held the role of Chair of the Department of Anthropology. One example of the research was to reveal that in 2017 there were 98 reported cases of violence against women and children, a figure that did not reflect women in Papua's lived experience.

In 2015 the Indonesian Ministry of Research and Technology awarded her its Golden Pin Award, marking her contributions to women's rights and anthropology.
