Naisasialiitto Unioni
Naisasialiitto Unioni (Finnish) or Kvinnosaksförbundet Unionen (Swedish), sometimes referred to in English as the International Alliance of Women (Finland), is a non-profit Finnish women's organization which was established in 1892. The co-founders were Lucina Hagman, Maikki Friberg and Venny Soldan-Brofeldt. Since 1904 it has been the Finnish arm of the International Alliance of Women. Unioni was initially concerned with women's voting rights (granted in 1906), equal pay, education and combatting prostitution. More recently, it has striven to improve the social status of women and to increase the number of women who are active in politics.[1] Today the association exerts influence on political discussions, fights for women's rights and works against oppression.[2]
