National Network is part of the project led by WAVE (Women against Violence Europe) whose aim is to strengthen the voice of women, including women’s organizations, working with and representing women from disadvantaged marginalized groups, at a regional level: Support the establishment and strengthening of regional platforms of civil society organizations (with special focus on organizations representing women from minority and disadvantaged groups) to advocate for the development and implementation of laws and policies in line with CEDAW and the Istanbul Convention, under the Programme “Ending Violence against Women: Implementing Norms, Changing Minds”.
The expected result of the project is to strengthen the capacities of women’s organizations’ platforms and or networks as a vehicle to support women’s civic engagement in CEDAW and Istanbul Convention monitoring and reporting.
On 15.02.2018 the online civil society strengthening platform (CSSP) of the project was officially launched, led by Women against Violence Europe (WAVE). The platform has a separate part with information and news (in English and Macedonian) from Macedonia.
Partner organisations in the project are from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Turkey, and they will work together with WAVE to strengthen women’s organisation networks within their countries as well as the entire Western Balkans and Turkish regions.
