Association for Development and Education of Youth “Safe Step” implements a project called “Welfare of woman – welfare of society”, which is financially supported by the organization Ecumenical Women’s Initiative, from Croatia, as part of the “SEE CHANGE” project, which is co-financed by the European Union.
The basic activities implemented in the project are:
- Online campaign on gender-based violence
* Workshops with Roma women and girls and the socially vulnerable on the topic of gender-based violence
*Workshops with young men and adolescents on the topic of gender-based violence
The online campaign is ongoing, the information and views of over 200 residents of Bijeljina on gender-based violence were collected, and then a video was recorded and published that contains important information about solving the problem of gender-based violence.
In addition to the online campaign, an important group of activities in the project are workshops for Roma women and girls and the socially vulnerable on the topic of gender-based violence. So far, the first set of 24 workshops has been realized, and the number of women who attended exceeded all expectations, as more than 50 women have gone through the workshops so far. The women were discussed on numerous topics related to gender-based stereotypes and prejudices, how to help themselves and others, how to recognize violence, who to report violence to, and the like. The workshops are not only organized in the premises of the association, but also outside – in catering establishments, on the square as part of the street action, in order for the women to socialize and socialize.
Also, the women who were the most active in the workshops also got involved in activities in other projects of our association, and were additionally empowered and received motivation and encouragement.
We continue with workshops and activities in this important project.
