Indonesia: social protection for mothers and children (Suwarti Bintang Suradi, 1957)
Excerpt from the WIDF Information Bulletin No. 14 (1957): Mme Suwarti (Suwarti Bintang Suradi), member of the Gerwani executive, reports on social insurance and protection for mothers and children in Indonesia. She notes obstacles for women officials, company rules such as Shell-BPM ending employment on marriage, lack of creches, and half-day workers excluded from health insurance and benefits.

Ia menyebut hambatan bagi perempuan pejabat, aturan perusahaan seperti BPM/Shell yang memutus hubungan kerja saat menikah, tiadanya tempat penitipan anak, dan pekerja setengah hari tak mendapat asuransi kesehatan.
“'In some foreign enterprises like BPM/Shell, there are regulations stipulating that relations of work cease to exist the moment a woman worker gets married.'”
