Abstract

After the 1 October 1965 coup in Indonesia a massacre followed in which probably a million leftist people were murdered. The Communist party was destroyed and President Sukarno was replaced by General Suharto. The massacre was preceded by a campaign of slander against the Communist women's organization Gerwani, organized by the military. This paper analyses the campaign and suggests that it was set up to associate communism with sexual perversion and to pave the way for rule of the military as the virile saviours of the
nation.
