The new study’s findings point out to obstacles that migrant women face in political and democratic participation in Serbia

As a member of the Women in Development Europe+ (WIDE+), a network of associations and activists that fights for women’s rights, NGO Atina has published a comprehensive study “Political and Democratic Participation of Migrant Women in the Republic of Serbia”. This study is part of a series of studies concerning the political and democratic participation of migrant women in Serbia, Denmark, Italy, Germany, and Europe in general.

Women in Development Europe+ (WIDE+), with the support of the International Women Space, organised a gathering in Berlin, from 25 to 27 November 2021.

On June 10, 2021, NGO Atina organised a webinar entitled “Ending trafficking and violence against girls and women in the context of global migrations”. This event was carried out as part of the project NGO Atina implemented in partnership with Women in Development Europe+ (WIDE+) entitled Expanding spaces for capacity building and exchange to strengthen women migrant movement building across Europe 2021, with the financial support of the Open Society Foundations (OSF).

During the session “European Open Space to analyze, strategize, and (re)claim rights of female Refugees and Migrants” a report was made about the ways in which the position of woman refugees and migrants can be improved. This particular report provides in-depth view of the discussion, and serves as a good starting point in contemplating strategies on how to improve the policies and practices facing female migrants and refugees, as well as to identify ways of working together among women’s rights organizations and women migrants and refugees associations.
