B.a.B.e. su u partnerstvu sa udrugom Građanskom organizacijom za razvoj Dalj (GORD) i udrugom “Delfin” iz Pakraca, provele projekt financiran sredstvima EU u okviru programa European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR), pod nazivom: “Premošćivanje problematičnih voda: saslušajmo većinske i manjinske glasove u eteru”. Glavni ciljevi ovog projekta su bili: povećanje svijesti o pravima manjina, njihovim potrebama i specifičnim ulogama te potencijalu koji one imaju za lokalne zajednice, kao i potaknuti komunikaciju i suradnju između većine i manjina u Slavoniji te povećanje vidljivosti manjina u lokalnim medijima, što u konačnici doprinosi razvoju tolerantnijeg i inkluzivnijeg društva. Povećana medijska vidljivost manjina se osigurala prvenstveno kroz produkciju i emitiranje po 6 radijskih emisija na 7 lokalnih, ali većinskih radio stanica (Slavonski radio, Radio Osijek, Hrvatski radio Vukovar, Županijski radio Požega, Radio Vallis Aurea, Radio Daruvar i Radio 101), koje su emitirane u jesen i zimu 2010. godine. Te emisije su imale poseban fokus na srpsku nacionalnu manjinu, s obzirom da je ona prema svim istraživanjima i dalje na ovim područjima detektirana kao najranjivija i najdiskriminiranija.
Since the main task of this project was to empower minorities, the method of its implementation requires opening up space for minorities to speak out about their own problems and experiences, as it often happens that members of the majority people speak instead of them. Accordingly, from 15 to 19 February 2010, focus groups were organised with citizens of national minorities in Dalj, Vukovar, Pakrac and Daruvar, with the help of partner organisations from these communities. The focus groups primarily discussed what radio programmes for minorities should look like, what are acceptable and important topics, and appropriate ways of introducing them to the airwaves.
Nakon provedenog terenskog istraživanja, organizirana je i četverodnevna radionica od 26. do 29. ožujka 2010. u Opatiji, za urednike/ce i novinare/ke sa osam radijskih postaja s kojima je ostvarena suradnja u okviru ovog projekta. Osim izlaganja stručnjaka na temu položaja nacionalnih manjina u medijima i njihovim pravima kao državljanima RH, dogovorio se i zajednički format buduće emisije kao i uspostava “mosta” između radio stanica koje sudjeluju u projektu.
Kao jedna od završnih aktivnosti prije pripreme i produciranja samih radijskih emisija, organizirani su okrugli stolovi u Pakracu i Požegi (17. i 18. svibnja 2010.) te Vukovaru i Dalju (24. i 25. svibnja 2010.) pod nazivom “Nacionalne manjine i mediji – predstavljanje i mogućnosti korištenja medijskog prostora”. Ideja okruglih stolova bila je otvoriti pitanja zastupljenosti manjina u medijskom prostoru te načina na koji su manjine prisutne uopće u medijima, kao i potaknuti diskusiju između pripadnika manjinskog i većinskog naroda o prihvatljivim temama i problemima za radijske emisije.
The further plan of the project envisages the signing of the Charter on the Representation of National Minorities in the Media with the mayors and heads of municipalities within which the project is implemented, as well as a national conference on the position of national minorities in the media, which will unite both scientific research and activist achievements in this area.

Project duration: 2010.
Project description:
Već drugu godinu za redom B.a.B.e. provele su projekt “Slušam, čujem, razumijem”, ovog puta u OŠ bana Josipa Jelačića u Podsusedu. Projekt je zamišljen kao niz edukacija i radionica namijenjenih prvenstveno učenicima i učenicama sedmih i osmih razreda, ali i njihovim roditeljima. Osnovni cilj projekta je prevencija nasilja među djecom te promicanja prava djece i kulture nenasilja.
The project aimed to sensitize students to the growing problem of peer violence and to show them the negative and long-term consequences that such behavior can have on the victim, as well as on the perpetrators and observers. Through creative interactive workshops, the students were tried to convey the importance of respecting human rights with an emphasis on the rights of children in a democratic society, by introducing students to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, but also through real cases of violations of children's rights from case law. As part of the project, workshops were also held where students adopted non-violent communication skills (self-talk, active listening, paraphrasing) in order to develop awareness of the importance of tolerance and respect for others regardless of differences. The media workshops were intended to educate students about the types of media and their purpose in society with the aim of better understanding the media themselves, but also adopting a critical approach to media content, new technologies and means of communication.
Parents of students were also involved in the project's activities at the introductory lectures, for whom lectures were held on the dangers and violence to which their children are exposed when using the Internet.

Project description:
The project is part of the long-standing Legalina program (providing existential, psychosocial and legal assistance to women victims of violence and other forms of discrimination), and the main goal of the project is to improve the quality of family life and to realize the concept of successful and equal parenting. The project is conceived as a series of education, lectures and workshops for children, parents and employees of educational institutions, which aim to create conditions for better cooperation and mutual understanding of all three groups. The general contents of the lectures are: the normative framework for the protection of children's rights and interests; domestic violence; peer violence; understanding the media and new technologies; non-violent communication; human rights; self-respect and respect for others; developing skills for active equal parenting; the consequences of divorce and children's rights after divorce, etc. The project manager is Zdravka Sadžakov, coordinator at the BaBe association
The more detailed contents of the workshops were defined in accordance with the needs and interests of parents and teachers. For this purpose, introductory lectures were held with parents of eighth, seventh, sixth and fifth grades of the Lučko Elementary School. Parents were given basic information about the Association, the goals of the project, the method of project implementation and the expert team that will work on the implementation, as well as possible workshop topics. At each meeting, parents were given questionnaires in which they could give their suggestions for topics that seemed particularly important to them and that they would like to be covered during the project.
The lectures were given by Sanja Sarnavka, president of the Association, Ljubica Matijević Vrsaljko, head of the Legalina legal team, Ines Bojić, lawyer, Jasminka Horvatić, psychologist and psychotherapist, Jadranka Luca Mrđen, defectologist, and Jelena Host.
Against stereotypes and discrimination against women – sexual crimes in the Republic of Croatia
Project name: Against stereotypes and discrimination against women – sexual crimes in the Republic of Croatia
Project duration: 06.2007.-
Project description:
Grupa za ženska ljudska prava B.a.B.e. od lipnja 2007. godine provodi projekt “Protiv stereotipa i diskriminacije žena – seksualni zločini u Republici Hrvatskoj”. Unatoč značajnim institucionalnim pomacima u promicanju ravnopravnosti spolova, upravo seksualni zločini najjasnije pokazuju kako je teško utjecati na odbacivanje predrasuda koje su se stoljećima prenosile i učvršćivale u svijesti pojedinaca i zajednice. Nepojmljivo je, ali istinito, da još uvijek osjećaj srama i vlastite krivnje opterećuju žrtvu, a ne počinitelja seksualnog delikta.
The project aimed to identify weak points in the implementation of laws related to sexual violence, and to draw attention to shortcomings in relation to international standards through an analysis of the laws themselves. The recommendations propose measures to improve the legislative framework and procedures that will ensure adequate access and protection for victims of sexual violence from further violations of their human rights.
Krajnji cilj projekta je bio osigurati rodno osjetljiv i nediskriminirajući pristup žrtvama seksualnog nasilja. Svi stručnjaci koji se sa žrtvama neposredno susreću radi procesuiranja počinjenog kaznenog djela – policija, zdravstveni djelatnici/djelatnice, suci/sutkinje i drugi, kao i obitelj i zajednica u kojoj žrtva živi, morali bi znati kako im pristupiti i pomoći na putu iscjeljenja.
Think local, act nationally: empowering human rights civil society organizations in underdeveloped regions
Donor: European Union
Contracting authority: SAFA
Project name: Thinking Locally, Acting Nationally: Empowering Local Human Rights CSOs in Underdeveloped Areas
Project duration: March 28, 2013 – September 29, 2014.
Project description:
The project is implemented by the BaB e. association, from March 28, 2013 to September 29, 2014, in partnership with the associations ZvoniMir (Knin) and Delfin (Pakrac), and in cooperation with the Legalina association (Gračac), and thanks to the financial support of the European Union, the Office for Cooperation with NGOs of the Government of the Republic of Croatia and the National Foundation for Civil Society Development. The aim of this project is to strengthen local human rights associations, as well as to improve relations between the public sector and human rights associations in the process of implementing anti-discrimination measures.
This project is carried out on two levels, with education and training of local associations as the most important factor in improving capacity. It implies targeted education of partner CSOs and associations from the target areas (counties listed below) on human rights, anti-discrimination measures and analytical policies such as qualitative research methods and advocacy. Special emphasis is placed on anti-discrimination policy at the local level so that participants can further create recommendations or reports on the state of respect or violation of human rights. Monitoring mechanisms will be established to monitor the implementation of anti-discrimination policies. At the same time, this activity assumes ethnographic research on the topic of discriminatory practices and human rights violations in the target areas. This implies training on conducting qualitative research (focus groups, individual interviews) that will be carried out by an expert with BaBe and partner organizations in the target areas where interviews with both focus groups and individual interviews will be conducted, all with the aim of collecting information on the population's awareness of discrimination and anti-discrimination measures.
2. The second level refers to the direct provision of assistance to victims of discrimination and human rights violations in the Požega-Slavonija, Šibenik-Knin and Lika-Senj counties and the Gračac municipality.
