The Swedish Women’s Lobby (SWL) is a politically and religiously independent umbrella organization for women’s organizations in Sweden. We unite 47 member organizations with the mutual aim to improve the status of women in the Swedish society.

The SWL is based on feminist principles. Our work is to achieve full human rights for women and a gender equal society within Sweden, the EU and internationally. Our activities are founded on the UN Convention of the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women(CEDAW) and the Beijing Platform for Action. Also EU:s work regarding women’s rights and equality between women and men. 

The Swedish Women’s Lobby aim is to integrate a women- and equality perspective into all political, economic and social processes, locally as well as internationally. Amongst our member organizations there are national women’s organizations, associations, sections and other groups.
