Women's Antifascist Front (Yugoslavia)

[5] Before World War II, many women organizations advocated for peace, fighting against the different totalitarian forces that were growing across Europe.

In various documents it confirmed women's active and passive voting rights, which they already possessed prior to 1941, as outlined in the Constitution, but were not allowed to exercise.

The First National Conference of Women, on 6 December 1942, was attended by 166 delegates from all over Yugoslavia, except for Macedonia, because of both distance and security concerns.

AFŽ Committees were also responsible were collecting clothes for the NOV, cared about children, wounded soldiers, worked as front line nurses and perform agricultural tasks.

[citation needed] The issue of legal equality did not arise, because the women through their participation in the national liberation movement had arguably already achieved certain rights.

AFŽ acted to eliminate the consequences of the war, the promotion of education, the construction of new residential buildings, cultural work and others.
