The "World of Woman" is a Kaliningrad-based public organization engaged in the development of the women's community, prevention of domestic violence (within the frame of the resource center for women "Your Life Is In Your Hands"), the promotion of crafts and needlework in the Kaliningrad region (the "Creativity of the Baltic States" project, uniting more than 1,500 creative people, and organizing fairs and art festivals).

In 2015, the organization was added to the list of "foreign agents", but two years later, after an appeal in court, the status was revoked.

Reason for recognition
The "World of Woman" was recognized to be a "foreign agent", as Ministery of Justice considered "the holding of meetings of public figures in Kaliningrad by this organization, in which problematic topics were discussed" to be political activity. This organization didn't receive foreign financing. Nonetheless, The Ministry of Justice considered money, which was received by it grom two non-commerce organizations for the realization of two projects, aimed at prevention of violence against women, to be received from foreign sources.
