ACWF practices an organizational system of local women's federations and group members.

Local Women's Federations are set up according to the state administrative divisions.

Women worker's committees of grass-root trade unions in factories, mines and enterprises, and those at upper levels are all group members of Women's Federations. National or local women's organizations that have registered with the departments of civil affairs and are willing to apply for affiliation with the federations may become members of ACWF once approved by ACWF or local Women's Federations.

ACWF has about 60,000 grass-root organizations above township and neighborhood committee levels across China, and more than 980,000 women's representatives' committees and women's committees at grass-root level. There are 18 national group members and about 5,800 local group members at various levels throughout the country.
