Serbian NGO receives "With and For Girls Award"

"During the award ceremony, Muna Wehbe said that Stars Foundation aims to 'shine a spotlight on these outstanding local organizations and encourage more funders to support girls in their role as vital agents of change within our sector'."

NGO Atina was awarded for its "long-term dedication and contribution to improving the position of women and girls, victims of human trafficking and other forms of gender-based violence, through daily provision of safe accommodation, health and psychological care, legal counseling, informal education and economic empowerment."

"The specificity of NGO Atina's work is reflected in the fact that it is the founder of a social enterprise Bagel shop, which helps finance the existing reintegration programs implemented by the organization. In addition, it provides the opportunity for women and girls to, through a training which this enterprise offers, acquire work habits and skills that can help them find future employment," the statement said.

In order to improve the response to the needs of women and girls, the NGO runs programs that are developing the capacities of non-governmental organizations and professionals in the community to more effectively identify and protect women and girls who are victims of human trafficking.

It was also noted that "NGO Atina's comprehensive program of reintegration for girls who are victims of human trafficking has become the standard model for providing services for all state institutions in Serbia dealing with this particularly vulnerable group."

Atina Director Marijana Savic said on the occasion this was "the crown of NGO Atina's 12 years of work, and represents a real incentive to improve the status and lives of girls at risk of human trafficking and other forms of gender-based violence."
