Amicale Femmes du Conseil de l'Europe

The Origins

It was on 8 June 1979 that the idea of a Women's Association was born, created for the wives of officials of the Council of Europe and the Permanent Representations. Six friends – one British, one German, one Italian, one Dutch and two French women – wanted to create a welcoming and friendly place where women could find companionship, a smile, support, and people with whom to laugh, share a special bond, exchange ideas and experiences, and pursue their passions.

Our Mission

An ambitious association with a clearly defined identity: a place where women come together and take action to build bridges between the Council of Europe, civil society and the women of Strasbourg through international projects and cultural, social and sporting activities.

The Women's Association is open to women working at the Council of Europe and the Permanent Representations, as well as to all women from civil society who wish to become members.

Its aim is to build connections between the Council of Europe, civil society and the women of Strasbourg through international projects and cultural, social and sporting activities.
