The Ladies National Association for the Repeal of the Contagious Diseases Acts was established in 1869 by Elizabeth Wolstenholme and Josephine Butler in response to the Contagious Diseases Acts that were passed by the British Parliament in 1864. The Act legalised prostitution and put the women involved under police and medical control. Not only was "sin" made official but poor women were badly treated. No other campaign groups dealing with the repeal of the Contagious Diseases Acts were as successful or held as much significance for women as the Ladies National Association. However, the LNA was not only concerned with the CD Acts; they were involved in other important social and political issues as well. They had the unanimous support of a Royal Commission in 1871, and by years of lobbying

| - The Ladies National Association for the Repeal of the Contagious Diseases Acts was established in 1869 by Elizabeth Wolstenholme and Josephine Butler in response to the Contagious Diseases Acts that were passed by the British Parliament in 1864. The Act legalised prostitution and put the women involved under police and medical control. Not only was "sin" made official but poor women were badly treated. No other campaign groups dealing with the repeal of the Contagious Diseases Acts were as successful or held as much significance for women as the Ladies National Association. However, the LNA was not only concerned with the CD Acts; they were involved in other important social and political issues as well. They had the unanimous support of a Royal Commission in 1871, and by years of lobbying convinced Parliament to suspend the Acts in 1883 and repeal them in 1886, thus ending legalised prostitution.

- Ladies National Association for the Repeal of the Contagious Diseases Acts eller LNA (”Den brittiska, kontinentala och allmänna Federationen för upphävande av prostitutionen såsom legaliserad eller tolererad prostitution”) var en brittisk förening, grundad 1869 av Elizabeth Wolstenholme och Josephine Butler. Föreningens syfte var att avskaffa Contagious Diseases Acts från 1864, lagen om Reglementerad prostitution, där kvinnlig prostitution legaliserades på villkor att kvinnorna ensidigt och regelbundet underkastades gynekologiska tvångsundersökningar för könssjukdomar. Det var en lag som utsatte prostituerade för kränkande behandling och framställde dem ensidigt som ett problem, medan den ignorerade deras manliga kunder. Föreningen fick stöd av 1871, och lyckades slutligen nå sitt mål 1886, då 1864 års lag återkallades. Föreningen fick efterföljare i andra länder: i Sverige grundades Svenska Federationen 1878 efter brittisk förlaga. (sv)
