What is the primary purpose of the All-China Women's Federation?

The All-China Women’s Federation (ACWF) is primarily designed to represent the interests of women in China, including advocating for their welfare and rights within the context of Chinese society and the Communist Party's policies. This includes a broad range of activities aimed at ensuring women's voices are heard and their needs are addressed. The organization functions as a pivotal link between the government and women, conveying women's concerns and issues to state institutions.

While promoting women's independence, advocating for rights in international forums, and facilitating political participation are also important aspects of women's empowerment, these activities are part of a broader mission. The ACWF’s foundational purpose is to act as an umbrella organization that encapsulates various women’s issues, ensuring that women's interests are articulated and prioritized at a national level. This representation helps to secure a platform for various initiatives aimed at improving women's social status, economic opportunities, and legal rights within China.
