RURAL WOMEN – A STRONG VOICE

byЦентар за едукација и развој-ЦЕД
As part of the project “Rural Women – A Strong Voice”, we have started implementing the first activity – mobilizing women from rural areas in the Municipality of Čaška, with the aim of connecting, organizing and establishing a women’s circle.
The circle will serve as an informal local group through which women will connect, share their needs and ideas, and jointly initiate activities to improve living conditions in their communities.
In the past period, we held meetings and discussions with women from the following settlements: Gorno Jabolčište, Izvor, Sogle, Čaška, Teovo, Lisiče, Bogomila, Vranovci and Stari Grad, all within the Municipality of Čaška.
During these meetings, we discussed the challenges women face, their needs, opportunities and ideas for greater involvement in community life.
The establishment of the women’s circle aims to create an organized space where women will be able to:
🌱 Identify the problems and challenges they face;
🌱 Propose initiatives and concrete solutions;
🌱 Communicate their needs and proposals to the local authorities;
🌱 Encourage greater participation of women in public life and decision-making processes.
Women from rural areas, particularly those belonging to vulnerable groups, often face limited opportunities to participate in public debates, local initiatives and the development of policies that directly affect their lives.
We believe that every woman should have the opportunity to be heard, that her voice should be recognized, and that her ideas should become part of the changes in the community.
That is why we are working to build solidarity, trust and opportunities for active women’s participation, because change begins when women come together, organize and speak with a collective voice.
The project “Rural Women – A Strong Voice” is supported by the Association for the Promotion of Gender Equality “Akcija Zdruzenska”.
