Kvinnefronten


The Women's Front (Norwegian: Kvinnefronten) is a radical Norwegian feminist organization which stands for women's emancipation, opposing all political, economic and religious systems based on exploitation. Founded in 1972, initially building on women's movements against Norway's membership of the European Economic Community, the nationwide organization promotes free day care and a woman's right to independence, irrespective of race, sexuality, class, skill, age and religion.

The organization quickly grew to be the largest women's association in Norway with 3,500 members in 125 towns and cities in 1973. The Front was associated with the Workers' Communist Party.

The Front has also been active in promoting women's self-determination in abortion and pornography. It has liaised internationally with women's liberation movements in developing countries such as Afghanistan, Palestine and the Philippines and has participated in international networks on abortion, reproduction, trafficking and violence against women.

The Women's Front has published journals under three different names: Kvinnefront (1975–1981), Kvinnejournalen (1982–2004) and thereafter Fett.
