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]
