The Center for Girls was founded on April 15, 1998, on the initiative of two volunteers of SOS Helpline for Women and Children Victims of Violence. The aim of its foundation was to improve the social position of young women through their education and emancipation.
THE MISSION of the Center for Girls is to empower children, girls and women through support, education, activism and creativity.
In the period from July 3 to July 6, 2014, the Center for Girls organized the first ArtFemine Festival in Niš. ArtFemine Festival was built on the foundations of FemiNiš Festival, which was organized and held by the Center for Girls and Women Space in the period from 2010 to 2013.
