Community involvement in reducing gender stereotypes and eliminating violence against women and girls.

We have started a project “Community involvement in reducing gender stereotypes and eliminating violence against women and girls.” in partnership with XY organization in October 2019. Our task is to create interfaith groups that will be working together on creating a framework for actions against violence in teaching religious subjects in schools as well as a framework for religious gatherings.

From February 18th to 19th, a workshop called “Developing a Comprehensive Violence Prevention Program: Training for Expert Group Members” was held in Sanski Most, attended by religious leaders and representatives of religious communities from the local community to prevent prevention of violence in our society.

The workshop was organized by the Association XY and the Center for Peacebuilding Sanski Most, as part of the UN Women project “Community Involvement in Reducing and Eliminating Violence Against Women and Girls”, financially supported by the Swedish Agency for International Development and Cooperation.
