African Women's Union of the Congo

The African Women's Union of Congo (French: Union des femmes africaines au Congo, abbreviated U.F.A.C.) was a women's organization in Congo-Brazzaville. U.F.A.C. was closely associated with the Congolese Youth Union (U.J.C.). U.F.A.C. largely failed to obtain a following beyond the milieus around U.J.C.[1]

U.F.A.C. was affiliated to the International Women's Federation (F.I.F.).[1]
