Lagos Women's League

The Lagos Women's League (Lagos Women's League) was a woman organization by 1923 bis 1944 in Lagos ( Nigeria existed).

It was founded by Charlotte Obasa , who has been socially committed in Lagos since the 1890s . The goal of the league was to improve training opportunities for women, to improve living and working conditions for men and women in Lagos, to get women into the public service and to improve the health system. It was mainly educated women from the upper class who got involved in this organization and wrote petitions to the colonial administration. As popular support grew, the Lagos Women's League expanded its agitation. After Obasa's cousin Oyinkan Abayomi took over the helm in 1944 , she transformed the organization into a political party called the Nigerian Women's Party .
