Welcome to AJWO's website!


The Association of Jewish Women's Organisations in the United Kingdom was founded in 1965 to provide a council of Jewish women's organisations, to further communal understanding and to deliberate on matters of common interest and concern.  The Association works towards promoting unity among Jewish women of differing shades of opinion, belonging to autonomous organisations with different aims, and encourages them to seek wider representation on communal bodies. It acts as a source of information, collating and circulating such information to its member organisations and, if necessary, making public statements or taking common action.  The Affiliate members are national Jewish women's organisations in the United Kingdom, or the women's national sections in the United Kingdom of international Jewish organisations.  There is also a category to allow for Observer organisations, which may be national Jewish women's organisations whose constitutions debar them from affiliating, or branches of national organisations which are not themselves affiliated.  Officers are elected from the representatives of member organisations by a method which ensures rotation among the affiliates.  AJWO is represented on the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the National Council of Women of Great Britain and the Women's National Commission.
