JAFW
was initially formed in 1984 as a collective to launch a
struggle against "sati" and dowry deaths.
Since 1990, it has been working actively for education,
equality and empowerment with special focus on violence
against women. The front has also focused on the issue
of good governance through political empowerment of
women. It has constantly demanded reservation of seats
for women in Parliament and State legislatures.
JAFW
is focusing on initiatives that will unlash economic,
social and political changes which will ensure
transformation of politics and equal access to women for
education, health and basic services and bring about a
gender equal and gender just society. For this
transformation women need to participate in nation
Building by entering the political decision making
structures and bring women’s issues on the national
political agenda. To achieve these objectives, JAFW has
held several seminars, conferences, and dialogues with
different stakeholders from time to time.

the founder member of JAFW and its Director is the
