State Women's Council Hamburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Landesfrauenrat Hamburg e. V. is an umbrella organization of 60 different associations active in women's issues. The aim of this cooperation is to achieve the equality of women and men anchored in Article 3 of the Basic Law in all areas of life. Members of the Landesfrauenrat Hamburg eV are women's organizations or women's groups from associations, clubs and political parties in the city of Hamburg .

history

The first organizational amalgamations of various women's associations existed in Hamburg as early as the First World War . In the course of this, the “Stadtbund Hamburgischer Frauenvereine” was founded in 1916, which campaigned for the civic equality of women and intended to arouse women's interest in politics and women's rights. Because of the seizure of power by the National Socialists , the city federation dissolved again in 1933.

After the end of the war, new women's associations were quickly founded, of which the two more important, the “Hamburger Frauenring” and the “Frauenausschuss Hamburg e. V. “were. The women's ring, which acted strictly impartially, and the women's committee, which later represented the same demands as the KPD , could not unite the interests of various women's organizations. For this reason, the “Arbeitsgemeinschaft Hamburger Frauenorganisation” (ahf) was founded in 1949, which in 1987 became the Landesfrauenrat Hamburg e. V. has renamed it in order to emphasize the cohesion with the other state women's councils in Germany and the German women's council by giving it the same name . Right from the start, ahf also deliberately included political women’s organizations in order to be able to exercise greater influence, while maintaining the principle of non-partisanship . Non-partisanship, independence and non -denominationalism are still the principles of the Landesfrauenrat Hamburg e. V.
