Initiator

The Indonesian Women's Archives and History Space (RUAS) is a collective space for women's critical thinking, run by historians and activist-scholars. RUAS' work includes archiving that is oriented towards memory, activism practices, women's thoughts and feelings, for justice, social, political and cultural change.

RUAS defines archiving-activism as a social movement which documents movements, thoughts and feelings, as well as presenting women's narratives that are overlooked in Indonesia's mainstream history. We aim to care for and recall women's movements as a way to support social change and bring about justice as well as equality.
