Women's & Gender Studies

Generally, Local Councils of Women and Study Groups focus on local issues, and Provincial Councils of Women focus on provincial issues. Both provincial and local councils carry the same voting strength at National Council meetings.

Established in 1977, the National Women's Studies Association (NWSA) has, as one of its primary objectives, promoting and supporting the production and dissemination of knowledge about women, gender, and sexuality through teaching, learning, research and service in academia and beyond.

UN Women is the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. A global champion for women and girls, UN Women was established to accelerate progress on meeting their needs worldwide.
