Gerwani was a secular left-wing women’s organization that brought together Indonesian women with a range of commitments to nationalism, feminism and socialism. The women who joined this organization had resisted the Dutch back in the late colonial era, the Japanese during the short occupation, and the Dutch again during the independence struggle between 1945 and 1949. Gerwani began under the name The Movement for Politically Aware Women (Gerakan Wanita Sadar, Gerwis) in 1950. Originally it only had a middle-class educated membership. At its 1954 congress, Gerwis changed its name to Gerwani to reflect a broadening of the organization’s reach and its transformation to becoming a mass movement. It increasingly turned to campaigning for women’s labor rights, and for the achievement of full Indonesian independence and socialism leading to a self-held perception that they were “the vanguard of the women’s movement.” Gerwani experienced rapid growth from 100,000 members in 1957 to 700,000 in 1960 to 1.5 million members in 1963, with branches in every province of Indonesia and sub branches in forty percent of villages.
