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.
The Children’s Daycare Centerr has opened its doors to all those who are interested in our work. This was an opportunity for them to bring clothes and shoes, toys, learning materials and creative work.
Center for Girls held a press conference on the occasion of the successful completion of the PROJECT "SAFE: Empowering girls and women to feel safer in public places in Niš".
Every child has the right to live, to develop fully, the right to protection from harmful influences, abuse and exploitation, the right to full participation in family, cultural and social life. Unfortunately, many children in Niš cannot realize these rights. A large number of children from Niš and other cities, predominantly (but not exclusively) Roma, beg or work on the street, and there is also a large number of children living in poverty. These children are at risk of human trafficking and are deprived of the right to a free, happy and safe childhood, right to play and to study.
