Endeavour Forum (originally Women Who Want to be Women) is a conservative political organisation describing itself as "a Christian, pro-life, pro-family organisation that was founded to counter feminism, to defend the right to life of the unborn, and to support marriage and the natural family." It was founded in 1979 by Babette Francis and has links to similar groups, such as the Australian Family Association and the World Congress of Families.

The Endeavour Forum is listed on the Australian National Women's Register as a lobby group and as a women's rights organisation.[1]

Lobbying

The Endeavour Forum campaigns against abortion[2][3] with Francis being the Australian representative of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer.[4][5]

The Endeavour Forum has raised concerns regarding Islam in Australia and its radicalisation.[6][7][8]

The organisation is a partner of the Coalition for Marriage in advancing the "No" case, associated with the Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey.
