New site promotes economic empowerment of women

New site promotes economic empowerment of women

The website is a part of the ONAsnazivanje project aimed at economically empowering women survivors of domestic violence, and/or those who come from socially vulnerable categories.

The project model was piloted in the Safe House in Sombor, and includes the setting up of a social enterprise whose purpose is the provision of services and continuing education of women.

In the process of continuing education within the project about 50 women, who attended different types of training, have taken part so far. This kind of education and empowerment reduces the chances that a woman, due to her inability to provide for herself and her children, might accept poor working conditions imposed by employers or stay with a violent partner.

This service has shown potential for sustainability, and the idea is to, in the coming period, implement it in all safe houses across Serbia.

ONAsnaživanje was initiated by the B92 Fund and is implemented in partnership with the Social Welfare Sombor and SMART Kolektiv. The project is financially supported by the United Nations Trust Fund to End Violence against Women.
