AIPFE was set up in Brussels in 1987 by Mrs. Rodi Kratsa, who was then a member and later Vice-President of the European Parliament. The Cyprus chapter was established in 2001, aiming to disseminate the idea of European citizenship and to encourage the involvement of women in civil society in Cyprus and abroad. Through its participation in the Femme d’ Europe award, AIPFE has also managed to promote the work of three extraordinary Cypriot women through the European network of participants: Stella Kyriakidou for her work with Europa Donna, Photini Papadopoulou for her work with the Red Cross and Tasoula Hadjitofi for her involvement in the restitution of stolen art treasures back to Cyprus.
