International Federation of Women in Legal and Juridical Careers (FIFCJ) also called International Federation of Female Lawyers and Judges (French: Fédération internationale des femmes magistrats et avocats) was an international non-governmental organization (NGO), founded in Paris in 1928.
History and activities edit
According to the organization's history, 60 années d'histoire de la fédération international des femmes des carrières juridiques (Melun: FIFCJ, 1989), the federation was created by Vera Poska-Grünthal (Estonia), Clara Campoamor (Spain), Marcelle Kraemer-Bach (France), Agathe Dyvrande-Thévenin (France), and Margarete Berent (Germany).[1][2]
The organization was founded to work for the professional rights for women and women's rights and opportunity to study law.[3] It was the first permanent international organization for women lawyers (the very first, the Woman's International Bar Association, was founded in 1888 but short lived).[4]
