Reconstruction Women’s Fund opened a program Roma Girls’ Solidarity as a longterm active learning process creating a space where girls from South Serbia (Leskovac, Niš, Vlasotince, Pirot, Vranje and Bujanovac) learn with and from each other, about the other and themselves, abut similarities as well as diferrences with their peers, with understanding that differences can connect people, and to envision oportunities for change in their own lives through combating isolation.
Within the program we are honored to host our guests from Colombia. Patricia Ariza,Catalina García and Carlos Satizábal will share their experience of work in their context and encourage thinking why reflexive work on one’s own body, voice, attitude is important in repressive and militant countries where corruption and criminal are omnipresent.
