Yugoslav Women's Alliance

Yugoslav Women's Alliance (Jugoslavenski Zhenski Savez) was a Yugoslavian organisation for women's rights, founded in 1919 and abolished in 1961. It was originally named Narodni Zenski Savez Hrvata i Slovenaca but changed name in 1929.[1]

It was an umbrella organization of the women's movement in the newly created Yugoslavia and united two hundred and five local women's organisations and fifty thousand women. It was the largest women's organisation in Yugoslavia. The Zhenski Pokret (founded in 1919) was later absorbed by it, and the conservative Narodna Zenska Zajednica was split from it (1926).
