Memoir of International Conference "Discussions on Cross-border Co-operation Among Countries in the Balkans", Trebinje, October 27th 2006, in PDF format, in SERBIAN , ENGLISH or GERMAN lanugage.
Within the project, supported by the Swedish
organization Kvinna till Kvinna, which was of regional character as covered all of East
Herzegovina, that is, six municipalities comprising it: Bileca,
Nevesinje, Gacko, Ljubinje, Berkovici and Trebinje, four activities took place
simultaneously:
During this year we initiated and completed, with support of the RS Gender Center, approval of a short four-digit number - 1264 - for all SOS lines in the RS. This single SOS line was a result of two years of our work, which commenced with our first request to RS Telecom in August 18th, 2004, thus all organizations engaged into this activity including “Lara” from Bijeljina, “Association of women” Banja Luka and “Buducnost” Modrica have a single number.
The creative center for children works within the Women’s center. In 2005 significant results were achieved although conditions were poor, thus work was done mostly on a voluntary basis. The Creative center was founded owing to assistance from the Canadian Embassy, which enabled the procurement of equipment and furniture. The Creative center offers five sections: acting, reporter’s, photography, art and music and was intended for children, victims of domestic violence but it is rendered available for all children from 6 to 15 years of age with the aim of their socialization.
Throughout
the duration of the project dubbed “My female human rights”, from April 11th,
2005 until July 11th, 2005, supported by UNDP, Women’s center
established an office in Bileca and held a total of 9 interactive
workshops.The project encompassed two
groups of women and men from Bileca municipality as well as representatives of
institutions, government and non-governmental organizations in Bileca
(Municipality, Welfare center, media, NGOs, Misdemeanor court, members of the

during interactive workshops onviolence
according to gender, that is, on the Law on gender equality, its possibilities,
as well as mechanisms for its implementation.
In 2004, we proposed to representatives of NGO
“Medika” from Zenica, totransfer the
project: “Multidisciplinary approach to suppressing domestic violence
and other forms of violence against women and children”, implemented in certain
