Project description:
The general goal of the project is to achieve the concept of gender equality in the Republic of Croatia by questioning and, consequently, destroying patriarchal stereotypes and prejudices that cause widespread gender discrimination and the persistence of gender-based violence. The specific goal of the project is to influence the attitudes and behavior of young people in the Vukovar-Srijem County, in secondary and primary schools, through workshops on gender equality, non-violent communication and legislation in the field of gender discrimination and gender-based violence, and radio broadcasts that would raise the awareness of young people and the general public, in order to reduce the rate of violence and gender discrimination in their environment, but also in society as a whole.

------------------
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.
