THE MISSION of the Center for Girls is to empower children, girls and women through support, education, activism and creativity.
In Vrnjačka Banja, 17 girls acquired knowledge on the topic of human trafficking and the skills necessary to conduct workshops in the previous three days. In the following period, they will become peer educators. In Bor, Pirot, Niš, Vlasotinac, Užice, Prijepolje, Kragujevac and Belgrade, they will hold 40 workshops and pass on their knowledge to their peers.
Due to the decision of the judge of the County Court in Zadar, Ivan Markovic, who let the thugs defend themselves from freedom, i.e. five suspects for rape, sexual exploitation, blackmail, physical and mental abuse of a fifteen-year-old girl, for a period of more than a year.
