Serbia – Fighting Repression
This section contains reports written by the Women in Black Network from Serbia.
Women in Black's mission is to make visible nonviolent resistance to militarism, war, sexism, and nationalism. In short, all aspects of violence towards and discrimination against women and all those people different ethnically, religiously, culturally, sexually, and ideologically. Their goal is to prevent and resolve conflicts through dialogue, and above all instigate the active participation of women in the building of peace, in peaceful processes, and demilitarization.
They promote their goals through non-violent protests taking place both in Belgrade and across Europe. Thus far, the Women in Black Network from Serbia has organized over 500 of these protests.
For more information about Women in Black, please see their website.
The Advocacy Project has sent two Fellows for Peace to work with Women in Black in Serbia: Janet Rabin in 2008 and Gail Morgado in 2007. Both blogged about their experiences.
The Advocacy Project (AP) seeks to empower its partners by encouraging information production. AP is crediting the contents of this section to the Women in Black Network from Serbia.
