This paper explores how the New Order regime used the antagonization of Gerwani and the institutionalization of state ibuism as ideological strategies to shape collective memory and maintain the hegemony of gender power. Gerwani as a symbol of progressive women’s movement was erased from history through narratives of moral depravity and political threat. At the same time, the concept of state ibuism is institutionalized through organizations, such as Dharma Wanita and PKK with its inherent doctrine of subordination. This paper uses the process tracing method to trace the relationship between political repression, the formation of gender narratives, and the framing of women’s roles in the New Order social order. The results of the analysis show that the strategy was not only successful in suppressing critical women’s movements, but also in creating gender constructions in social memory and institutional structures in Indonesia.
