Hungary Women
In the 1980s, the principal women's organization was
the
National Council of Hungarian Women. Its official role was
to
educate women socially and politically and to participate
in
devising new laws and regulations that affected women. The
organization had a network of local and regional
committees,
whose members engaged in voluntary social work. In 1985
the
council had about 32,000 designated female "stewards," and
about
160,000 women were said to be active in the organization.
