The campaign endeavors to increase the Roma women’s influence on decision making and create the appropriate conditions for their increased participation in human rights protection mechanisms in
Since the campaign is directed towards institutions on the national and local level, they also considered the possibility of presenting the campaign at Assembly committee sittings, primarily before the Gender Equality Committee, Committee on Labour, Ex-Servicemen’s and Social Issues, Committee on Inter-Ethnic Relations and Poverty Reduction Committee.
Women’s association Bibija, founded in 1998, organises psycho-social workshops, legal counsel from Roma women and assists the creation of new non-governmental organisations dealing with women’s rights.
