The National Council of Women (Consiliul Național al Femeilor, CNF) was a Romanian women's organization. Active from 1958 to 1989, it was the longest-running women's organization in the Socialist Republic of Romania.
History
The 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), was founded in 1944 a state women's organization in Communist Romania. 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. From 1958 its role was replaced by the CNF.
