| dc.description.abstract | This research is to study the sustainability of the struggles of KOWANI (Indonesian Women Congress). KOWANI is an umbrella organisation which fights for the emancipation and mobilization of women in development in Indonesia. Formed in 1928 and with a current membership of 78 member women’s organisations from all over Indonesia, KOWANI has been able to sustain its struggles until now. This research aims to identify factors which support the sustainability of KOWANI’s struggles from the colonial to the present post colonial period, and examining KOWANI’s relationships with the ruling governments as well as the types of feminism in its struggles. Qualitative methodology was used. Data were gathered using in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of archival and official documents as well as KOWANI’s reports. This research found that factors contributing to the sustainability of KOWANI’s struggles are size of membership and KOWANI’s vast infrastructure, the capacity to resolve conflicts and to maintain harmony, having access to continuous and sufficient financial resources, flexible and accommodating relationship with the ruling governments, and having issues which were seen as relevant agenda by the people. Governments did not see KOWANI as a threat even though KOWANI had made demands which were against the status quo. The features and patterns of feminism changed according to the political systems of the government in power. KOWANI was independent and autonomous during the colonial period; it then took on the quality of being more directed during the end of Sukarno’s era and throughout Suharto’s period, but reverted to being independent during the reformation period, from 1998 until now. The types of feminism practised by KOWANI can be categorised as maternal feminism and companionate feminism; both resting on the ideology of transforming society without changing the existing structure such as family and the roles of men in society. KOWANI is expected to be able to sustain its struggles even though its feminist ideology may not be seen as radical enough by the new feminist organisations because of its stability, relevance and perceived importance by the government. | en_US |
