Issues 6-9 (March 1974 onward) of Vashti's Voice, a Melbourne women's liberation newspaper, covering rape crisis, abortion, women's theatre and conferences. The only Indonesia item found is a page of Jakarta family-planning posters in Indonesian; no legible mention of Gerwani survives in the poor OCR.

Edisi 6-9 (mulai Maret 1974) Vashti's Voice, koran pembebasan perempuan Melbourne, tentang krisis pemerkosaan, aborsi, teater perempuan dan konferensi. Satu-satunya bagian tentang Indonesia yang ditemukan adalah halaman poster KB Jakarta berbahasa Indonesia; sebutan Gerwani tidak terbaca dalam OCR yang buruk.

“p. 9: 'INDONESIA ... JAKARTA FAMILY PLANNING POSTERS' (Indonesian-language poster text, OCR garbled).”
