The Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) is a charter member of the International Federation of University Women, an organization founded in 1919 following the First World War.  Its objective of promoting peace and human rights, with a focus on women and girls, is as significant today as it was almost a century ago.  CFUW, with close to 10,000 members, is the largest of the 79 national federations and associations (NFAs) of IFUW (see www.ifuw.org ).

CFUW holds special consultative status with ECOSOC (United Nations Economic and Social Council) and serves on the Sectoral Committee on Education of the Canadian Sub-commission for UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).
