Union of Antifascist Women of Romania (Uniunea Femeilor Antifasciste din România) also known as the Union of Democratic Women of Romania (Uniunea Femeilor Democrate din România) and finally (in 1958-1989) as Women National Council (Consiliul Național al Femeilor), was a state women's organization in Communist Romania, founded in 1944.[1]
It was a state organization and a branch of the Romanian Communist Party (PCR).
Its purpose was to mobilise women in the political ideology of the state, as well as to enforce the party's policy within gender roles and women's rights. It played an important role in the life of women in the state during its existence.
