UNMS, English abbreviation NUSW, Union Nacional de Mujeres (The National Union of Sahrawi Women) is the women's organization of the Front Polisario.

The organization is active in the Sahrawi refugee camps in Tindouf, Algeria, where it is a powerful force within the Polisario and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic|Sahrawi republic. It is internationally active in organizing support for Sahrawi women and the Sahrawi cause, but also campaigns for women's' rights within the exile community and in political decision-making. As a consequence of this, and of the special circumstances of the Western Sahara war years, the situation of Sahrawi women has improved noticeably. There are presently two women in the Sahrawi republic's government.

Its present general secretary is Fatma El Med??.
