Liberale

What Liberale does

Liberale Frauen (legal name: Bundesvereinigung LIBERALE FRAUEN e.V.) is a German non-profit registered association founded on May 8, 1998 in Munich, with its registered office (Sitz) in Berlin and operational coordination out of Ulm. It is the official women's organization (Vorfeldorganisation) of the FDP (Free Democratic Party), holding speaking and proposal rights at all FDP party conventions and operating a chapter network spanning all 16 German federal states (Landesvereinigungen) plus district, county, city and local sub-structures. Activities focus on political advocacy for gender equality, qualification and training programs (in cooperation with the Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung für die Freiheit), networking across the liberal political spectrum, and program development on issues including reproductive rights, anti-extremism, violence against women, economic participation, and educational equality. Leadership is honorary: Anke Hillmann-Richter (Baden-Württemberg) was elected Bundesvorsitzende in June 2024, supported by three deputy chairs, a treasurer and a secretary.

The organization is funded almost exclusively by membership dues: 32 EUR/year for regular members, 16 EUR/year for students and trainees, and a minimum of 64 EUR/year for supporting (Fördermitglieder) members, with reductions of up to 50% available on application; 25% of the minimum membership fee is passed from state associations to the federal association. Membership is restricted to women aged 14 and above who are aligned with liberal values and prohibits concurrent membership in competing political organizations. The technology footprint is modest: a WordPress website at liberale-frauen.de with newsletter signup, cookie consent management, contact forms and social-media plugins for Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Google Maps. There are no commercial products, no API, no mobile applications, and no disclosed AI capabilities. Revenue, headcount and financial statements are not publicly disclosed.
