Le Mouvement féministe indonésien : un passé douloureux, un avenir incertain

In this article, Saskia Wieringa examines the Indonesian feminist movement's history, highlighting its vibrant early years under President Sukarno and the subsequent repression following the 1965 coup. She discusses the mass killings of leftists, including members of the women's organization GERWANI, and the long-lasting impact on women's rights and civil society. Wieringa also reflects on the movement's revival during the 1995 Beijing World Conference on Women, where activists rediscovered their history through her writings, using them as training materials despite political restrictions. She emphasizes the need for justice and reconciliation regarding the 1965 atrocities to achieve a more equitable society.
