The Women's General Association of Macau (Chinese: 澳門婦女聯合總會; Portuguese: Associação Geral das Mulheres de Macau), often shortened to the Women's Association (婦聯), is a pro-Beijing political party in Macau. It has two seats in the Legislative Assembly.
History
The Women's General Association of Macau was formed in 1950. It advocated the unity of "patriotic women" in Macau, connected women with different social backgrounds, and protecting women's rights. The association has positioned itself in the pro-Beijing camp,[2] and is regarded as one of the camp's traditional groups.[3]
The association formed an electoral alliance with other pro-Beijing parties in the 1992 legislative election, under the name "Progress Promotion Union". The association separated from the alliance in 2017 and ran as Alliance for a Happy Home (美好家園聯盟, Aliança do Bom Lar).[4] The association returned to parliament with two members in 2021, its best result since the split.[3]

在所有傳統社團中，五個有影響力的親共左派社團尤為重要。他們是澳門中華總商會、澳門工會聯合總會（工聯）、澳門中華教育會、澳門街坊總會和澳門婦女聯合總會。從勞工、教育到社區，這些社團可說是涵蓋了澳門最重要的社會部門（Chou，2015）。
