thanks to kinship ties

Explanation:
The number of women in the organization increases thanks to kinship ties of its members (wives, sisters, mothers).

Or just "thanks to nipotism among its members" !

due to family ties

Explanation:
family ties with organization members (who pull in their wives, sisters, mothers, etc.). Strictly speaking, "wives" are not kin, so I wouldn't use kinship in this context. You can also use "thanks to" in a more positive phrase ("thanks to (organization - not necessary if already mentioned in previous sentence) members who pull in their wives, sisters, and mothers"). You don't have to stick to the Russian sentence structure, obviously!

by female relatives of existing members

Explanation:
The number of women in the organization is being increased by female relatives of existing members (wives, sisters, mothers)

I'm a bit uneasy at the "family ties" being described as "wives, sisters, mothers"...
Also, doesn't due to have to family "to be" or is that old-fashioned these days?
