Concerned Women for Family Development (CWFD) emerged from an emotional response to help women  in need of reproductive health care counseling services. The organization, originally named as “Concerned  Women for Family Planning (CWFP), started its voluntary activities in 1974 to help the refugees coming to  Dhaka city after the devastating famine of 1974.
