ABSTRACT

Intersectional feminist approaches have been criticised by several decolonial feminists because they believe that intersectional feminism does not sufficiently address the colonial dimensions of women's issues in the Global South, nor does it help to build a coalition amongst women of colour who are working towards equality. This chapter scrutinises the failure of #MeToo in Indonesia in relation to criticism against intersectional feminist approaches, and demonstrates that we need a coalition of approaches that can identify the complexities of oppressions without stigmatising women of colour in the Global South; in this instance, in Indonesia. Accordingly, decolonialism and intersectional feminism must always go hand in hand, rather than one superseding the other.
