Women's General Association of Macau (Chinese: 澳門婦女聯合總會; Portuguese: Associação Geral das Mulheres de Macau), or in short Women's Association (Chinese: 婦聯), is a pro-Beijing political party in Macau, and is represented in the Legislative Assembly.

History[]

Women's General Association of Macau was formed in 1950, advocating the unity of patriotic women in Macau, connecting women with different social backgrounds, and protecting female's right. The Association has positioned itself in pro-Beijing and pro-establishment camp,[1] and regarded as in the traditional faction.[2]

The Association formed electoral alliance with other pro-Beijing parties by 1992 under the name of "Progress Promotion Union". The Association separated from the Union in 2017 and ran in the poll as "Alliance for a Happy Home" (Chinese: 美好家園聯盟).[3] The Association returned the parliament with two members in 2021, the best result after the split.[2]
