With the support of the ROMACTED Phase II Programme, 10 municipalities joined the global campaign for 16 days activism against gender-based violence under the slogan " UniTE! Invest to prevent violence against women and girls!".
The workshops’ goal was to raise awareness on gender-based violence against women and girls, to learn how to identify, prevent and react to this violence.
The workshops that took place in the municipalities of Shuto Orizari, Tetovo and Kočani were organised in cooperation with the joint EU/CoE Horizontal Facility III Programme "Strengthening anti-trafficking action in North Macedonia". More than 150 girls and boys were involved in these three workshops targeting youth.
In the municipalities of Prilep, Bitola, Berovo, Delčevo, Vinica, Kriva Palanka and Debar, the workshops were organised in cooperation with the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy and the members of the institutional working groups such as the Centres for Social Work, the Ministry of Internal Affairs at local level, the local courts, the coordinators for equal opportunities and the Commission for equal opportunities. More than 600 citizens, women and men attended these workshops.
