Women's National Anti-Slavery Society

The Women's National Anti-Slavery Society, founded in 1834 in the UK, was an organization driven by women to combat slavery and promote human rights. It aimed to end the transatlantic slave trade and slavery itself through advocacy, education, and campaigning. The society also emphasized broader issues of social justice, including gender equality and humanitarian concerns. By mobilizing women as active agents of change, it helped raise awareness and influence public opinion and policy against slavery. Its efforts contributed significantly to the abolitionist movement and laid groundwork for future humanitarian and women's rights initiatives.
