Union of Sammarinese Women

Union of Sammarinese Women (Italian: Unione Donne Sammarinesi, UDS) is a civil association based in San Marino and founded in 1972 that works for equal rights and opportunities between men and women in the country.

Among the Union's greatest achievements are promoting the 1982 referendum to amend the citizenship law to repeal the provision whereby women lose their nationality when they marry a foreigner, reforming family law to include measures proposed by the Union, and promoting the 2021 referendum to legalise abortion, playing a key active role in the "Yes" successful campaign.

Since 2024, its current president is Valentina Rossi.
