Open file in Google DriveRead full text

De Waarheid, 24 May 1956, p. 4: report on eight Indonesian women briefly in Amsterdam en route to the international conference of working women in Budapest (until 17 June), after a Soviet visit. They represent health, tea or cigarette, industrial and union workers, including Suhartini, Sutjati, Sudjinem, Supinah, Sumarjati, Setiati and Titi. They discuss unequal pay, the dismissal of married civil servants in the Netherlands and the coming constituent assembly. OCR partly garbled.

De Waarheid, 24 Mei 1956, hlm. 4: laporan delapan perempuan Indonesia singgah di Amsterdam menuju konferensi internasional perempuan pekerja di Budapest (hingga 17 Juni), setelah kunjungan ke Soviet. Mereka mewakili buruh kesehatan, teh atau rokok, industri, dan serikat, antara lain Suhartini, Sutjati, Sudjinem, Supinah, Sumarjati, Setiati, dan Titi. Membahas upah timpang, pemecatan pegawai perempuan menikah di Belanda, dan Konstituante yang akan datang. OCR sebagian kacau.

“Whether any delegate belongs to Gerwani is not clear from the garbled OCR; Setiati may be Setiati Surasto.”
