Union des Femmes du Niger

[6] Niger has a long tradition of women's networks, and the UFN expanded the kind of work undertaken to include political demands.

[8] The UFN promoted the education of women, the improvement of sanitary facilities and the creation of women-specific jobs.

[10] UFN members also tried to get on the list of candidates for the parliamentary elections of 1970, in fact not a single woman was represented on it.

[12] The Union des Femmes du Niger ended with the military coup of 15 April 1974, in which all existing political structures were dissolved.

Under the rule of the Supreme Military Council, a successor organisation was founded in 1975 - the Association des Femmes du Niger.
