Steps Towards…
While the new government is focused on legislative changes in the social sector and is seeking a model to improve social entrepreneurship, civil society organizations are trying, through training programs, to help socially and economically vulnerable groups become competitive in the labor market. Supported by the Civica Mobilitas program, several domestic organizations have implemented successful projects through which dozens of women have gained employment. Many of them were victims of domestic violence, marginalized, or had low self-confidence, but after the training, they rose from the bottom and are slowly becoming an integral part of society. Are such trainings sufficient for single mothers and victims of violence to step confidently into the future? Does the state have the capacity to engage in the resocialization of this group of women? These and other questions are addressed in the video story “Step Towards…”.
The story is produced as part of the project “Reporting on Civil Society and Its Impact on Societal Change”, implemented by the Macedonian Institute for Media in partnership with the Center for Investigative Journalism – SKUP Macedonia, with financial support from the Civica Mobilitas program.
