Kvinnofronten – The Women's Front in Sweden – was established
in 1977. Right from the beginning we built the organization around
our political platform of concrete demands, but the platform has
been changed from time to time during the years.
Kvinnofronten is a politically independent,
nation-wide feminist activist organisation. We try to rouse public
opinion against the oppression of women. We do it by starting consciousness-raising
groups, making pamphlets, holding speeches, making street theatres,
arranging demonstrations – or whatever activities the local
groups want to arrange. We are a small, but important, feminist
group in Sweden.

activist, persistent and irritating...

Horizontal organisation
 Kvinnofronten
has no traditional council, since we want to have a horizontal organization.
Instead we have a number of groups with different responsibilities;
such as a newsletter group, a summer camp group or whatever.
Every summer we arrange a summer camp,
where women can rest, sun-bathe, cook, take long walks, train feminist
self defense, listen to lectures, argue and laugh together.
During the rest of the year women
from different parts of our country can keep debating via our newsletter
"The word is yours, sister!".
By using the menu to the left you
can read our political platform and see what things we've mostly
struggled with.
