The purpose of the organization is to promote sustainable hunting among women and youth offering different activities, various training courses and events.
ENS also represents the right and interests of its members in both – domestic and international level. In cooperation with the Estonian Hunters’ Society and other women’s organizations abroad ENS will carry through numerous projects which can help to achieve the goals and aims of the organization and give positive added value to hunting in Estonia.
In a year 2015.a. 320 women in Estonia had the hunting license and this number is increasing every year. 1.04.2017 the number was already 373. In May 2017 7% of these women were the members of Estonian Women Hunters´ Society – we believe that this number is increasing as well.
