The Conservative Women's Organisation (CWO) represents the female members of the Conservative Party in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Conservative Women's Organisation Scotland operates in Scotland. The Chair of CWO Scotland sits on the CWO National Executive.
The youth wing of Conservative Women's Organisation is called Conservative Young Women.
As with all political parties, membership has declined and the CWO had about 5,000 active members in 2012 (although not all women party members are actually CWO members, they must join separately). Attendance at the CWO Annual Conference has been between 300 and 750 in the past five years.
It also sends delegates to the National Conservative Convention, the parliament of the party's voluntary wing (Voluntary Party).
