The history if feminism in the Netherlands is largely represented by the umbrella group: Vrouwenberaad Nederlandse Ontwikkelings Instanties (Women's Consultative group of Dutch Development Organizations). This group organised women's rights groups and enable co-operation for a centruy before splitting in 1992 to become two focused organisations; Dutch Women's Council and Arachne Women's Advice Bureau for Government Policy, being developed to evaluate women's policy issues. The overall campaign focus was to organise women to acheive goals and then to refine campaigns into two main focuses.
