"Village women of Pirot in the fight for rural and agricultural development"

The citizens' association "Ternipe" in partnership with the Center for Local Community Support "Mome" implemented a project called "Village women of Pirot in the fight for the development of villages and agriculture", with the aim of encouraging greater involvement of women from the villages of Pirot in agriculture and rural development and supporting their active participation in the creation of policies that will contribute to economic empowerment and gender equality in rural areas.

During the implementation of the project, 50 women from five villages in the Pirot area were educated and empowered to actively participate in the process of public advocacy and the adoption of measures that will enable their greater involvement in decision-making on the development of villages and agriculture.

Videos of the advocacy campaign are available on our YouTube page. See what the village women of Pirot tell us, because their voice is important!

The project was implemented as part of the "EU Resource Center for Civil Society in Serbia" project, which the Belgrade Open School implements in partnership with civil society organizations:

Novi Sad School of Journalism, ENECA, Užice Center for Children's Rights, New Planning Practice, Safe Paths, Young Farmers of Serbia and an international partner, the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung. The project is supported by the European Union and will be implemented in the period from 2023 to 2026.
