Norwegian National Women's Council

[1][2] Gina Krog had been preparing an agenda for the Women's Council in the "Help Committee" (Hjelpekomité) she had run until it was dissolved in 1902.

[2] One of the areas of concern was the white slave trade (now known as trafficking), which had first been raised at the Nordic Women's Day meeting in Christiania in 1902.

The Central Board of Norwegian Ethics Associations (Centralstyret for De norske Sædelighetsforeninger) had also encouraged the establishment of a National Women's Council in order to bring the topic to the attention of the international community.

[2] As social aspects became increasingly important, in 1920 the Women's Council established the Norske Kvinners Nasjonalråd Sosialskole.

In view of the Council's general opposition to abortion, the feminist Norwegian Association for Women's Rights (Norsk Kvinnesaksforening), which had been a member from the beginning, withdrew its support in 1972.
