About Us

The ETF Women’s Committee was created in May 2001 in Zagreb, by a decision of the 1st ETF Ordinary Congress. It is an ETF policymaking body.

The Women’s Committee consists of 1 woman representative from each ETF section, 1 young workers’ women’s representative, and 14 women members elected by the ETF Women’s Conference taking into account the need for a regional and industrial balance.
