Naisasialiitto Unioni

Since 1904 it has been the Finnish arm of the International Alliance of Women.

The co-founders were Lucina Hagman, Maikki Friberg and Venny Soldan-Brofeldt.

Unioni was initially concerned with women's voting rights (granted in 1906), equal pay, education and combatting prostitution.
