Introduction

The Naiskodukaitse  (Women`s voluntary defence organization) is a women's organization in which every woman can find an educational or challenging experience. Every member receives basic training, chooses additional courses based on her choice of specialty, and can participate in sports and take part in military activities and different social events. The members’ training and organizational activity aims to assist the Kaitseliit (Defence League), so each member can play a part in developing national defence and making society better in general. The basic training includes an organizational introduction, medical training, field catering, and basic military training.


In December 2011, there were 1747 members in the Naiskodukaitse, including 17 employees.

The Naiskodukaitse teaches its members to handle and cope with unexpected circumstances.


Isn't it nice if there's someone living on your street or in your village who knows what to do when a flood or snowstorm hits? Or if there's a vast electrical outage or some other unpredictable event? A member of the Naiskodukaitse surely knows and will lend a helping hand – it's her mission.
