The Sri Lanka Women's NGO Forum (SLWNGOF) consists of over fifty women's organisations working on gender issues. It has a Committee of eleven and a co-ordinator elected by the general membership.

The Forum initially functioned as the Sri Lanka Women's NGO Forum for Beijing and was set up in 1993 to co-ordinate activities and disseminate information relating to the 1995 Beijing Conference. The need for a permanent body to monitor women's issues resulted in the continuation of the Forum for Beijing as the SLWNGOF.

The main objective of the Forum is to function as a lobbying and advocacy body on women's concerns at national, regional and international levels. Its main focus is to popularise the Beijing Platform for Action in particular raising awareness on women's issues and rights in Sri Lanka.
