In the three countries women’s groups have implemented projects and then got together for a conference “Feminists in Dialogue – Bridging the Gaps” in Kyiv for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (Nov 25th) to present key findings of their projects. The aim was to empower groups to build bridges and strengthen women and girls as change makers.
Results showed that there are differences between countries but in most cases problems that women face and deal with are usually the same and differences between generations could be neglected in order for women to unite and overcome difficulties together.
Implemented projects include discussions, workshops, podcasts, videocasts, theatre plays, performances, video films, etc.
