The Shanghai Women's Federation (Chinese: 上海市妇女联合会; pinyin: Shànghǎi shì fùnǚ liánhé huì, abbreviated SWF) is a mass organization composed of women and childcare workers in Shanghai, China. It is a local branch of the All-China Women's Federation and operates under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party Shanghai Municipal Committee. Its highest authority is the Shanghai Women's Congress.[1]

History

The federation traces its origins to June 1949, when the Preparatory Committee of the Shanghai Democratic Women's Federation was established. In August 1950, the Shanghai Democratic Women's Federation was formally founded.[2] In November 1957, it was renamed the Shanghai Women's Federation.[3]

In 1966, during the Cultural Revolution, the organization was taken over by rebel factions, leading to the suspension of its regular activities. In July 1978, the Shanghai Women's Federation was restored and resumed its normal functions.[4]
