Fusen Kakutoku Domei

The Fusen Kakutoku Domei (FKD), originally named Fujin Sanseiken Kakutoku Kisei Domei was a Japanese women's rights organisation, founded in 1924. Its purpose was to work for the introduction of women suffrage.

The FKD was founded as a section of the umbrella organisation Tokyo Rengo Fujinkai, which was founded in 1923 to unite the Japanese women's organisations in their emergency work for the victims of the Tokyo earthquake of 1923. When male suffrage was introduced in 1924, the Tokyo Rengo Fujinkai divided in to several groups, which was each given their own assignment within women's issues. The FKD was one of these sub-groups and its purpose became that of women's suffrage.[1]
